Projectile Trajectories

Description

Trajectories of a projectile launched from Origin towards Target v = fixed starting velocity v' = varying starting velocity optimized for fixed angle θ = Fixed launched angle θ' = Lowest launch angle at starting velocity to hit target θ'' = Highest launch angle at starting velocity to hit target f(x) = red curve = trajectory of the projectile at velocity v and angle θ h(x) = purple curve = trajectory of the projectile at velocity v and angle θ' (lowest angle with fixed velocity) h'(x) = blue curve = trajectory of the projectile at velocity v and angle θ'' (highest angle with fixed velocity) q(x) = green curve = trajectory of the projectile at velocity v' and angle θ (varying velocity for fixed angle) based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory_of_a_projectile
