File:Mplwp ballistic trajectories angles.svg

Summary

Description
English: Plot of a ballistic trajectory with air resistance. The trajectory follows the differential equation with initial conditions .

The parameters are:

  • , ,
  • The starting angle takes the values , , , ,
The second-order ordinary differential equation system is reduced to a first-order system, using velocity components as independent variables. The system is then solved numerically using Scipy odeint.
