Question

Write a SciLab script that will graph two functions on the same graph at the angles of 30 and 60 degrees:

The launcher can launch a balloon at a velocity of 26.5 m/sec.

Use the equations below for the path of the water balloon.

X=(v∙cos⁡θ )t Y=(v∙sin⁡θ)t-1/2〗∙g∙t^2

Set the x-axis to 'Horizontal Distance (X) [m] '

Set the y-axis to 'Vertical Distance (Y) [m] '

Set the graph title to 'Position of Balloon'

Answer 1

v=26.5;
theta1=30;
g=9.81;
t1Final=2*v*sind(theta1)/g;
t1=0:.01:t1Final;
x1=v*cosd(theta1)*t1;
y1=(v*sind(theta1))*t1-.5*g*t1.^2;
plot(x1,y1)
theta2=60;
g=9.81;
t2Final=2*v*sind(theta2)/g;
t2=0:.01:t2Final;
x2=v*cosd(theta2)*t2;
y2=(v*sind(theta2))*t2-.5*g*t2.^2;
plot(x2,y2)
xlabel('Horizontal Distance (X) [m]')
ylabel('Vertical Distance (Y) [m]')
title('Position of Balloon')
