Modify your code so that the 2d trajectory of an object can be
computed, and graphs of as a function of can be made.
- As a check on your program, first neglect the effect of air
resistance so that you an compare to known results. Supouse that the
object is thrown and with an angle with an initial
velocity m/s. Vary and show that the maximum range
occurs at
Compare your result with the exact
value
- Consider the effects of air resistance. Compute the maximum
range, and the corresponding angle using , m/s.
