when i do my code for v>0 on my while loop it's a neverending loop and i dont know why if i do it for i<30 for 30 iterations i get a height of 50784 but should be right around 205.7 any ideas how to stop it from entering an ifinite loop on v>0 and a

It's infinite because your condintion, v>0, would always be true.
Programming-wise, your code does not create an error. That means you should make sure you have properly implemented your equations and algorithms correctly.
