ABSTRACT
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to
time.While a piecewise function is a function that is defined on a sequence of intervals.
In this analysis, we can use matlab. We can create from following piecewise function of
velocity of rocket might and create variation t. The graph can plot in the matlab.
Piecewise function is not the function in matlab. In this analysis use piecewise
calculations. In this analys is using t = -5.5 second. The script that composes the graph
for the first equation is 0 with a speed between -5 to -1. The second equation is 10t ^ 2-
5t with a time interval of 0 to 8. From this analysis it can be seen that the velocity
constant in the first or first seconds is up to 48.5 seconds, and increases within 49
seconds.
Keyword: Piecewise, Time , and Velocity
analysis of piecewise equation is to
define interval times in matlab.

Some people assume that speed and
speed are the same, indeed both are a 1. Materials and Methods

system. OFDM transmission system is a
quantity because the motion of an
transmission system that uses several
object or displacement is a vector. The

an object is Δx and time is t.
1.1.2 Piecewise
A piecewise function is a function that
is defined on a sequence of intervals.
Up to now in this chapter a function has
been represented by a single equation.
In many real-life problems, however,
functions are represented by a
combination of equations, each
corresponding to a part of the domain.

2.2 Study
Velocity is defined as the rate of change
of position of an object with respect to
time. While a piecewise function is a
function that is defined on a sequence of
intervals. piecewise function is not the
function in matlab. In this analysis use
piecewise calculations. In this analys is
using t = -5.5 second. The script that
composes the graph for the first
equation is 0 with a speed between -5 to
-1. The second equation is 10t ^ 2-5t
with a time interval of 0 to 8. The
second equation is 624-5t with intervals
of 8 to 16. The fourth equation is 36t +
12 (t-16) ^ 2 with interval times 16 to
26. 2136e ^-0.1 (t-26) with a time
interval of 27 to 50. In matlab we use
other t functions to set in different
times. In our script we use xlim to the
grid so that it can be read clearly. From
this analysis it can be seen that the
velocity constant in the first or first
seconds is up to 48.5 seconds, and
increases within 49 seconds.
2.3 Conclusions
The results of the analysis are :
 From this analysis it can be seen
that the velocity constant in the
first or first seconds is up to 48.5
 seconds, and increases within 49 http://www.freelance-
