Im putting in my equations wrong and i need help

2 views (last 30 days)
T1=30
T2=45
T3=60
g= 9.81
y0=3.5
v0= 25
d1= (v0.*cosd(T2)/g).*((v0.*sind(T2))+sqrt((v0.*sind(T2))).^(2)+(2.*g.*y0))
x1= linspace(0,d1,200)
y1= ((x1.*tand(30))-(1/2).*(((x1.^2).*(g))./((25).*cosd(30)))+y0)
d2= (v0.*cosd(T2)/g).*(v0.*sind(T2))+sqrt((v0.*sind(T2))).^(2)+(2.*g.*y0);
x2= linspace(0,d2,200);
y2= (x2.*tand(T2))-(1/2).*(((x2).^2).*g)/(v0.*(cosd(T2)).^(2)+y0);
d3= (v0.*cosd(T3)/g).*(v0.*sind(T3))+sqrt(((v0.*sind(T3))).^(2)+(2.*g.*y0));
x3= linspace(0,d3,200);
y3= (x3.*tand(T3))-(1/2).*(((x3).^(2)).*g)/(v0.*(cosd(T3)).^(2) +y0);
y1 = transpose (y1);
y2 = transpose (y2);
y3 = transpose (y3);
plot(x1,y1)
hold on
plot(x2,x3)
hold on
plot(x3,y3)
hold on
here are the equations i need to imput please feel free to tell me if there are other issues

should that be T1? also, replace 25 hardcoding with v0 (and 30 with T1)
d1= (v0.*cosd(T2)/g).*((v0.*sind(T2))+sqrt((v0.*sind(T2))).^(2)+(2.*g.*y0))
x1= linspace(0,d1,200)
y1= ((x1.*tand(30))-(1/2).*(((x1.^2).*(g))./((25).*cosd(30)))+y0)
otherwise, it looks okay. If you're going to be doing this a lot, I'd define a function for each equation, or at least vectorize the code

There are several changes needed in your equations, please look at the comments in the code where the changes are necessary
T1=30;
T2=45;
T3=60;
g= 9.81;
y0=3.5;
v0= 25;
% below line, you need to use T1 in place of T2
d1= (v0.*cosd(T1)/g).*(v0.*sind(T1)+sqrt((v0.*sind(T1)).^2+(2.*g.*y0)));
% ^T1 instead of T2 ^ T1 ^ T1
x1= linspace(0,d1,200);
y1= x1.*tand(T1)-(1/2).*((x1.^2.*g)./(v0.*cosd(T1)).^2)+y0;
% ^^ square term is
% missing and parenthesis
% closed incorrectly
d2= (v0.*cosd(T2)/g).*(v0.*sind(T2)+sqrt((v0.*sind(T2)).^2+(2.*g.*y0)));
x2= linspace(0,d2,200);
y2= x2.*tand(T2)-(1/2).*((x2.^2.*g)./(v0.*cosd(T2)).^2)+y0;
% ^^same here
d3= (v0.*cosd(T3)/g).*(v0.*sind(T3)+sqrt((v0.*sind(T3)).^2+(2.*g.*y0)));
x3= linspace(0,d2,200);
y3= x3.*tand(T3)-(1/2).*((x3.^2.*g)./(v0.*cosd(T3)).^2)+y0;
% ^^ same here
y1 = transpose (y1);
y2 = transpose (y2);
y3 = transpose (y3);
hold on
plot(x1,y1)
plot(x2,x3)
plot(x3,y3)
