The discussion focuses on calculating the vertical component of velocity (Vy) for a projectile that must clear an obstruction while still reaching a target point. The user has defined variables including X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Vx, and gravity, and seeks to understand how to adjust Vy based on these parameters. The conversation emphasizes the need to ensure that the projectile's height exceeds Y2 at X1 while also landing at X2. Participants suggest using projectile motion equations and forming a system of equations to solve for Vy in relation to Vx.
PREREQUISITESPhysics students, software developers working on simulation projects, and anyone interested in understanding projectile motion dynamics in the presence of obstacles.
tchpowdog said:Now I have my parabolic equation. From this, I find the tangent line at point ##(x_1,y_1)## by taking the derivative of my equation, finding the slope, pluggin that back, etc. From here, I can calculate an angle ∅ of the initial trajectory.
Are you the guy that commented on my YouTube video?J0TA said:What do you do in the "ect"? I'm trying to make a tennis game and i was trying to understand how dows this works but it is hard... If you could help me I would appreciate it very much!
I don't wat to pressure you and hope you recovered fine but are you still going to share your project? It would help me a lot!tchpowdog said:Are you the guy that commented on my YouTube video?
The "etc" part is solving for Y (which gives you the magnitude of the force needed). I will try to zip my Unity project up and send it to you somehow. It will be later today or tomorrow. I am having surgery in about 2 hours, so I will be in pain for a while.

You didn't replied for a month... if you see this pleeeeese send me your Unity progect to joaonunodiasleitao@gmail.com! I tried to recriate it but i coundn't make the same effect... Hope you recovered well from your surgery!tchpowdog said:Are you the guy that commented on my YouTube video?
