how to find two values with a single function

Hey Guys,

I am very new to Matlab and with the help of some tutorials I came to know that Matlab can solve functions . With the help of that I was creating a function to solve Newton's laws of motion

I wanted to find the velocity and time at impact of a falling object using the below function

function [v , t] = my_sin (u ,h)

v = sqrt((u^2)+ (2*9.81*h));

t = (v-u)/9.81;

end

In the command box when I type

my_sin(0 , 10)

I just get the velocity v value , but not the time t .. Can anyone help me to solve this

Kindly looking forward for a solution

Regards

Aadithya

Function calls only return the first output by default. If you waant both, you need to ask for it.

Try this:

[v, t] = my_sin(u ,h)

I already tried this . But I am not getting the time 't' value

[Star Strider]

It works for me:

[v, t] = my_sin(0 ,10)

v =
    14.0071

t =
     1.4278

Ohh Okay In the command window . I was typing like

my_sin(0,10)

Instead now I typed like you said

[v, t] = my_sin(0 ,10)

And now I am getting the answer.

Thankyou so much for your reply and solution.
