Lab 3 Deliverables

The following graphs were created from the Lab 03 code, which can be found under the code section:

 

 

The energy versus time and distance plots show an increase in energy with an increase in time and distance.  This is because as time progressed and the AEV moved, the motor had been exerting more and more energy until it finally stopped and the energy capped off.

Power vs.Time

Power vs. Distance

The power versus time and distance plots clearly shows what the AEV was doing at each given moment.  In the power versus time graph, it is seen that power increases over the first three seconds, which matches the code where the AEV accelerates from 0 to 3 seconds.  The power then stays constant, which matches the code where the AEV travels at constant speed with constant power.  Finally, it shuts off and the power goes down to zero.
