| Jan 11, 2016 at 6:11 | comment | added | NoeL | I just came to the realisation that if I can calculate the flight time then I can divide the distance traveled each frame along the x axis and just plug that into the parabolic function to get the ball's y coordinate. I guess that's my next avenue of research. | |
| Jan 11, 2016 at 5:54 | comment | added | Hamza Hasan | So have look on this question I asked. Although I have not tested it yet, but it might help you | |
| Jan 11, 2016 at 5:53 | comment | added | NoeL | Yes, that's correct. EDIT: Or if there's another method to just move the ball along the parabola over time in a way consistent with a constant gravity. | |
| Jan 11, 2016 at 5:52 | comment | added | Hamza Hasan | So you want to get v and theta known before firing? | |
| Jan 11, 2016 at 5:50 | comment | added | NoeL | Thank you, but unfortunately this doesn't help me since I don't know v and theta (they're what I'm trying to calculate). | |
