You need to convert the given miles per hour into feet per second.
You need to convert the angle in degrees to the angle in radians (because the C library sin function takes radians).
So I think this is correct. The 32 is the acceleration due to gravity (g) in feet per second per second.
v = 50 miles per hour
angle = 20 degrees
fps = v * 5280 / 3600 = 73.333 fps
rad = angle * pi / 180 = 0.3491 rads
R = fps * fps / 32 * sin(2 * .3491) = 108.032 feet
How do I write that in C++? Like this?:
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
constant double g=9.8;
int main()
{
double velocity=12;
cout<<"Enter a velocity?";
cin>>velocity;
double v=v*5280/3600
double rad= theta* m.PI/180
