Why is my 3D Projectile Trajectory not being calculated properly?
% Constants
g = 9.81; % gravity
v0 = 50; % initial velocity
% Time
t = linspace(0, 5, 100); % time from 0 to 5 seconds
% Elevation and Azimuth angles
elevation = pi/4; % initial elevation angle (angle above the xz plane)
azimuth = pi/4; % initial azimuth angle (angle from the positive x-axis, counterclockwise)
% Calculate positions
x = v0 * t * cos(elevation) * cos(azimuth);
y = v0 * t * sin(elevation) – 0.5 * g * t.^2;
z = v0 * t * cos(elevation) * sin(azimuth);
% Plot 3D trajectory
figure;
plot3(x, y, z, ‘LineWidth’, 2);
xlabel(‘X’);
ylabel(‘Y’);
zlabel(‘Z’);
