Re: Calculating Angle to fire at
That is precisely what I was looking for, if it is correct anyways. I knew it would require some mad trig. Thank you = ).
edit.
Now I am trying to add air resistance in the calculation. I think the easiest way to do it would be to determine the terminal velocity of the poof ball and use that with a known weight of a projectile to find the proportionality constant of a poof ball k such that F= k v(y) beacuse the force of air resistance is proportional to speed right? and this k would be the same one to use for the x direction because it is a sphere. Has anyone experimentally determined this value of k? I guess I could try something with my schools logger pro stuff =)
