Given a second-order LCCDE with the input being a unit step and initial conditions of y(0)=2 and y'(0)=0, solve for y(t) using Laplace Transforms.
💡 Hint: Focus on taking the Laplace of the first and second derivatives.
A temperature control system can be described by a second-order differential equation with damping. Validate the presence of damping by analyzing the poles in the s-domain after finding H(s).
💡 Hint: Remember the principle that poles in the left half-plane mean a damped response.
