...sounds like you need an artillery expert...xer0s wrote:Ok, lets say I have this thing that shoots stuff. Now, lets say this thing shoots an object 970 yards, and is shot at a 60 degree angle. Is it possible to figure how high the object went when it was shot? And if not, what other factors would need to be known to figure this out?
P.S. Props goes out to DooMer for hooking my account back up.

What are the whole math calculation good at, if we ignored what is the type of weapon, a pellet gun or a bazooka? Shooting a bird or a plane?tnf wrote:Ignoring air resistance?xer0s wrote:Ok, lets say I have this thing that shoots stuff.

You guys are making it way too hard.
Imagine the "rainbow" trajectory that this is going to make. It will by symmetrical. So take half the total travel distance and you've got the long leg of a right triangle. Use the pythagorean theorem to get the length of the short leg (the height) and you're good.
edit: nevermind, I'm a moron.
2nd edit: I figured out I'm a moron before Kracus did :P

That's not always true, depending on what angle you shot the object it could travel up 90m's and land 5 meters in front of you... How would your theory work then?l0g1c wrote:You guys are making it way too hard.
