How do i plot projectile motion given initial velocity, initial horizontal position, initial vertical position & angle of inclination?

Any help would highly be appreciated.

You need to calculate the trajectory and plot it. Please post, what you have tried so far.

[Ali Almoayed]

x=input('Enter initial horizontal position= ');

y=input('Enter initial vertical position= ');

th=input('Enter angle of projection in degrees= ');

v=input('Enter velocity of projection= ');

g=9.81;

t=0:0.05:100;

maximum_height=(v.^2.*sind(th).^2)./(2.*g);

fprintf('a) maximum_height: %d\n',maximum_height)

horizontal_range=(v.^2.*sind(th).*2)./g;

fprintf('b)horizontal_range: %d\n',horizontal_range)

horizontal_position=v.*cosd(th);

fprintf(' horizontal_position= %d\n',horizontal_position)

I couldn't reach to a function to plot the projectile motion

See my attached projectile demo. Computes just about everything you could want. Adapt as needed.
