2D kinematics
I am trying to make a calculator and for some reason the time is not showing right. Am I doing something wrong with my equations? I get 1.73 and the online calculator gets 1.44... My angle is 45 degrees and my velocity is 10 m/s
vx = float.Parse(velocity.text) * Mathf.Cos(float.Parse(angle.text));
vy = float.Parse(velocity.text) * Mathf.Sin(float.Parse(angle.text));
time = ((2 * vy) / g);
distance = vx * time;
print(time);
$$anonymous$$athf.Cos/Sin/Tan take an argument in radians, you can multiply by $$anonymous$$athf.Deg2Rad;
sin() and cos() take in radians, not degrees.
so this:
Mathf.Cos(float.Parse(angle.text))
should be this:
Mathf.Cos(Mathf.Deg2Rad * float.Parse(angle.text))
.. and similar for Sin() as well.
