Modeling the motion of a projectile using matplotlib in Python

Projectile modelling

In this project, I used Python to model the tragectory of a projectile.

Source code

I used the SUVAT system of equations to calculate the projectiles position at a set time interval. The accuracy of the tradgectory depends on the time interval used to calculate its position.

This is a particle fired at an initial velocity of 30ms-1 at every angle from 0° to 90° with intervals of 5°

To run your own simulations, you can download the source code in Python. I have included multiple functions, for modeling and testing differenct projection velocities and angles.

All the visuals are generated using matplotlib.pyplot
