So i need a program that tells you when a potato launcher will hit a target…. (can change this variable and still work). initial variables vx=200, vy,x,y=0 dtarg=23 delta_t=.01seconds.I've checked all the forum information and am still not able to get mine to run correctly. our inputs for (delt_x=vx*delta_t) (delta_y=vy*delta_t) (delta_vx=(-.0254)*(v^x)^2) delta_vy=-(9.8)*delta_t. Like i said we're looking for time of impact and to a set target distance(dtarg). I am not sure what I am missing to make my code work. Any help is grately appreciated.
clcclear all dt=0.01; %s
i=1; x=0; y=0; delta_x=0; delta_y=0; g=-9.81; vx=200 vy=0 delta_vx=0; delta_vy=0; Dtarget=15; while x<=Dtarget delta_vy(i)=-(9.81)*dt delta_vx(i)=(-.0254)*(vx^2)*dt delta_x(i)=vx*dt delta_y(i)=vy*dt i=i+1; end
