Question
Recall that the velocity of the free-falling bungee jumper can be computed analytically as:
where v(t) = velocity (m/s), t = time (s), g = 9.81 m/s, m = mass (kg), = drag coefficient (kg/m). (a) Use Romberg integration to compute how far the jumper travels during the first 8 seconds of free fall given m = 80kg and = 0.2kg/m.Compute the answer to . (b) Perform the same computation with quad.

Step 1
1 of 2The distance traveled during the first 8 seconds can be calculated by finding the integral of the velocity from to s.
The MATLAB script that applies the Romberg integration algorithm to evaluate this integral to an accuracy of is shown below.
clear;clc;close all;
m=80;cd=0.2;g=9.81;
f=@(t)sqrt(g*m/cd)*tanh(sqrt(g*cd/m)*t);
maxit=40; es=1; a=0;b=8;
n = 1;
I(1,1) = tra(f,a,b,n);
iter = 0;
while iter<maxit
iter = iter+1;
n = 2^iter;
I(iter+1,1) = tra(f,a,b,n);
for k = 2:iter+1
j = 2+iter-k;
I(j,k) = (4^(k-1)*I(j+1,k-1)-I(j,k-1))/(4^(k-1)-1);
end
ea = abs((I(1,iter+1)-I(2,iter))/I(1,iter+1))*100;
if ea<=es, break; end
end
d= I(1,iter+1);
d = 255.2417 m
b.) Using quad()
clear;clc;close all;
m=80;cd=0.2;g=9.81;
f=@(t)sqrt(g*m/cd)*tanh(sqrt(g*cd/m)*t);
d=quad(f,0,8);
