Get launch vector and force for a trajectory
Hi I am not good at physics math... Please bare with me and help me with this question :)
I have a launch function that requires a launch vector(Vec3) and a launch force(float). Today, I have the start point and the end point for the trajectory, how do I calculate the launch vector and launch force for the trajectory?
Note1: The time can be fixed. Note2: The start point and the end point have different height (z). The end point is always higher.
I am working on a basketball shooting game. I will really really appreciate any help! Thanks!!
