How to use C to wirte a program about Euler's method for a parabolic trajectory?
Here's some information about Euler's method and the task.
We update the position based on the velocity and how much time has passed:
X_t+1 = X_t + (Vx_t * time_step)
Y_t+1 = Y_t + ( Vy_t * time_step)
That is, the position at the next time instant (t+1) is just the current position (at time t) plus the velocity multiplied by the amount of time that has gone by – both for the X and Y components of position.
We also need to update the velocity
– The horizontal velocity remains constant, so
Vx_t+1 = Vx_t
(The horizontal velocity at the next time instant is just the same as the current horizontal velocity)
Vy_t+1 = Vy_t – (g*time_step)
(The vertical velocity decreases over time by an amount that is given by the acceleration of gravity 'g' multiplied by the time step).
