Thank you so much, I just incorporated a headwind and it makes a world of difference, a cross wind is going to take me a bit more time

so for the sake of the problem, let's say I am firing a perfect sphere with a Cd of .47. I could reuse my initial equation to calculate the drag due to wind. but how would I implement it into my graph

and the graph would only have a z-axis to show if the wind pushed the projectile to the left or right

I guess what I am asking is where should I start? I want to be able to tell the spreadsheet that the wind is coming from north east and the projectile is being shot east, or north etc. in my physics class we haven't even touched drag yet and its a college class which kind of disappoints me.

Hey guys, I'm new to these forums so I am unsure if this is the right place to be posting this, but here it goes. I have been working on a drag spread sheet using OpenOffice Calc to predict where a potato will land when fired from a potato gun. I have gotten pretty far along, using...
