vSquared = v ** 2 force = -14.7 * vSquared change = yForce = yChange = This is what I got, but when I print it off to the console, it gives me a number in the millions. Am I doing something wrong?

Could you explain the equation to me? Also, I could just calculate the resistance for one tenth of a second, and then multiply by the variable time to get the total distance traveled left or right?

Sorry, I didn't know if you knew code. I'm using python for this project. The code would look something like: newvar = .1 And as long as I have the equation, I can figure out the code for it. I just need the formula really, and maybe an explanation for it.

I could use my original variable, time, to find one tenth of a second, the line would look like this. variable is time time - time + .1 = new variable That would be easy to find, however, I don't know how to calculate the decline of velocity. I'm not currently a physics student, I'm taking that...

This is what my code prints out for the user. Attempt 1 ----------- The target is 2914 feet away. Input the velocity.400 Input the launch angle15 Too short. You were 414.00 feet away! Distance traveled was 2500.00 feet It took you 6 seconds travel time. I want to add code to calculate how...

Yes, I could make the variable count upwards or downwards. Would it be a constant curve?

Homework Statement I'm currently in computer programming class, and I've finished a project and want to improve on it. We had to figure out how to calculate the gravitational acceleration and time traveled of a projectile to hit a target. I'd like to add horizontal variables in my code, like...
