Chapter 15.3, Problem 8CC
- a. Place the indices of all nonzero elements of the
vector TestVec1 into NZLoc. - b. Place the indices of all elements of the vector TestVec1 that are less than –5 into LTNeg5.
- c. Place the indices of all elements of the vector TestVec1 that are less than the corresponding elements in TestVec2 into TV1_LT_TV2. You may assume that TestVec2 has the same dimensions as Testvec1.
- d. For the elements found in part (c), replace all of these smaller elements in Testvec1 with the larger values found in Testvec2. Example: Testvec1=[2 3 7 5]; TestVec2=[1 6 8]; then after this command, TestVec1 would contain [2 5 7 8]. NOTE: You may wish to read ahead to the section on vector indexing to answer part d.

Mass M1 = 2.25 kg is at the end of a rope that is 2.00 m in length. The initial angle with
respect to the vertical is 60.0° and M1 is initially at rest. Mass M1 is released and strikes M2
= 4.50 kg exactly horizontally. The collision is elastic. After collision, mass M2 is moving on
a frictionless surface, but runs into a rough patch 2.00…
