Help plotting a projectile motion graph
Show older comments
Hello, I'm trying to plot a projectile motion graph using "projectile" and "trajectory", but it seems something wrong. Could anyone please help me?
:
function [x,y,t]=trajectory(T,angle,numpts)
g=9.81;
vx=sqrt(T*3.925/0.32)*0.8*cos(angle);
vy=sqrt(T*3.925/0.32)*0.8*sin(angle);
tg=2*vy*(-1)/g;
t=linspace(0,tg,numpts);
y=vy*t-.5*g*t.^2;
x=vx*t;
figure
plot(x,y)
xlabel('x (ft)');
ylabel('y (ft)');
title('Projectile Trajectory');
axis equal
projectile:
T=input('What is the applied torque (Nm):');
angle=input('What is angle with the hoeizontal axis (rad):');
numpts=input('How many points to evaluate (I suggest 50):');
[x,y,t]=trajectory(T,angle,numpts);
figure
for n=1:length(x)
plot(x(n),y(n),'ro');
axis equal;
axis([0,max(x),0,max(y)+10]);
xlabel('x (m)');
ylabel('y (m)');
title('Projectile Trajectory');
M(n)=getframe;
end
numtimes=3;
fps=10;
movie(M,numtimes,fps)
