Hello there,
So I'm trying to graph the traajectory of an object based on the user input (initial height, angle of elivation, initial velocity of object...etc)
I got kinda stuck and would really appreaciate any help or advice.
Thanks,
Ben N.

What have you done so far? What specific problems are you having with your code?

If you have the equations and don't have to process any differential equations it is as easy as:
t=0:.01:14;%seconds
height=10;%meters
angle=45;
v=100;%m/s
a=-9.81;%m/s^2
y=@(t).5*a*t.^2+v*sind(angle)*t+height;
x=@(t)v*cosd(angle)*t;
plot(x(t),y(t));
