For all discussions, refer to the Course Discussion Overview.

This is a two$-$week discussion. You will begin your discussion this week and finish it in Module $2.$ Initial discussion posts should be made by the middle of the module's week, and then return to the discussion later in the week to respond to the postings of other students.

The theme of the Modules $1$ and $2$ is plotting engineering data in the time domain and becoming familiar with the concept of physical phase space.

As a first exercise, study the following example:

A free$-$falling rock is released at an altitude of $50m.$ Earth's gravity $g=9\mathrm{.}81\frac{m}{s^{{?}^{{?}^{?}}}}2$ is the only force acting upon the rock. $($i$.$e$.,$ no atmospheric drag$).$

Now, check the following MATLAB plots, which display the altitude, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time in one figure $($time$-$space$).$ In a second figure a plot of the velocity as a function of the altitude is displayed $($phase space$).$

Find a physics or engineering example of your choice, provide a description thereof, and supply appropriate Matlab plots in the time domain $(t-$ time on the $x-$axis, dependent variable on the $y-$axis$).$ You are encouraged to think outside the box. That means you can create any physics or engineeringrelated plot with time on the $x-$axis. Make sure to give your plots titles, label the axes, including units, and experiment with line widths, line types, markers, colors, etc. Post the above items in this discussions board, comment on or ask questions about your classmate's posts and interact meaningfully.

As a checklist:

Post your physics or engineering example in this discussion forum.

Explain the variables and seek input from your classmates.

Using the example below as a guide: Provide a self$-$created Matlab Plot with titles and labels.

Share code snippets with your classmates and improve on your plotting skills.

Be creative!
