Need help regarding the changing angle between 2 vectors of a moving object over time. The 2 vectors are namely the direction vector and the vector referencing to the origin. I am stuck here as i dont know how to proceed to plot the cos_theta over time. Also, i keep getting the dimension mismatch for my cos_theta. Kindly appreciate any help thanks!!
x_i=input('Enter the initial x location of the object: ');
y_i=input('Enter the initial y location of the object: ');
z_i=input('Enter the initial z location of the object: ');
x_f=input('Enter the final x location of the object: ');
y_f=input('Enter the final y location of the object: ');
z_f=input('Enter the final z location of the object: ');
Vel=input('Enter velocity of moving object: ');
N=input('points: ');
initial=[x_i;y_i;z_i];
final=[x_f;y_f;z_f];
direction=final-initial; %Direction vector
coord=[linspace(x_i,x_f,N);linspace(y_i,y_f,N);linspace(z_i,z_f,N)];
dist=sqrt((x_f-x_i).^2+(y_f-y_i).^2+(z_f-z_i).^2); %Distance between final and initial pos
Total_time=dist./Vel; %Total time required to travel
%STUCK FROM HERE ONWARDS
n=linspace(1,N,N);
t=linspace(0,Total_time,N);
cos_theta = dot(direction,coord(:,n))/(norm(direction)*norm(coord(:,n)));
plot(t, cos_theta);

function angleOtime(initial,final,vel,n)
direction=final-initial;
dist=norm(direction);
velocity=(direction/dist).*vel;
t=linspace(0,dist/vel,n);
cos_theta = arrayfun(@(x)dot(direction,x*velocity+initial)/(norm(direction)*norm(x*velocity+initial)),t);
plot(t, cos_theta);
end
If I understood you correctly, the above function should work for you. Just input the initial point [xi,yi,zi], final point [xf,yf,zf], vel, and number of interval desired.
