 2

R(S)=1 or r(t)=1 (impulse).

C(S): 5/(𝑠+5)
c(t): 5*exp(-5*t)
2. Using plot command, plot c(t) from 0 to 1.5 seconds.
Matlab output:

G1=tf(4,[1 4]);
impulse(G1)
4.) Compare and describe the responses of items 2 and 3:
The response of the 2 items are the same with each other.

C(s): 5/(𝑠(𝑠+5))
c(t): 1-exp(-5*t)

6. Plot c(t) from 0 to 1.5 second.

Matlab Commands:
x=[0:0.1:1.5];
y=1-exp(-5*x);
plot(x,y)
Matlab Output:

G1=tf(5,[1 5]);
step(G1)
Matlab Output:

8. Compare and describe the responses of items 6 and 7:

The responses of both items are increasing exponentially.

C(s): 5/(𝑠2(𝑠+5))
C(t): t + exp(-5*t)/5 - 1/5
10.Plot c(t) from 0 to 2 second.
Matlab Commands:
x=[0:0.1:2];
y=x+exp(-5*x)/5-1/5;
plot(x,y)
Matlab Output:

11.Describe the response:

The response is linearly increasing.

C(s): 5/(𝑠3(𝑠+5))
c(t): t^2/2 - exp(-5*t)/25 - t/5 + 1/25
13.Plot c(t) from 0 to 5 seconds.
Matlab Commands:
G1=tf(5,[1 5 0 0]);
x=[0:0.1:5];
step(G1,x)

Matlab Output:

14.Describe the response:

The response shows that it has parabolic curve

16.From the above step responses, determine the time constant, rise time,
and settling time of G1 and G2 by clicking a point on the graph and

dragging it to a location as specified by the required time parameters.

System Time constant (sec) Rise Time (Sec) Setting Time (sec)
G1 0.228 0.732 1.304
G2 0.023 0.073 0.130

17.Plot and label the pole-zero map of the two system in item (15)

18.How would you relate the step response of a system to the location of its
pole location?

At “a” is faster than the imaginary axis therefore making G2 becoming faster.
C(s)=10/s+4
