I want to be able to find out how fast an object should be shot given the angle it is shot from and the point at which it will hit. How would I go about doing this? Here's what I have looked at so far: http://www.jqjacobs.net/astro/arc_form.html#formula The velocity of an object in Algodoo is in X and Y values.
- Code: Select all
Angle = 45°
Velocity = [?, ?] m/s
Point it will hit = [0, 10]
I hope that you can understand what I wrote. I tried my best to describe it in as much detail as possible. I thank you for any help that you will give me.
This isn't for homework, this is just for fun! I also realized that what I stated in the original post was not what I had originally meant. I will update the original post as soon as possible. Here's what I'm trying to find out: given the angle at which the object is shot and given the point at which the object should hit, what should the velocity of the object be? Yes, I am taking gravity into account but not air resistance. Algodoo does not have air resistance yet but it does have air friction. Instead of air resistance I will be taking air friction into account instead. I think that this is what I mean: Given the angle the object is shot at and the point that it should hit how fast should the object be shot?
