You need to rewrite the second order ODE to two first order ODEs. This can be found in many mathematics books and even in the MATLAB help: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/ordinary-differential-equations.html. Then you will get five first order differential equations. The initial conditions are given so you can solve it.
