cocopino Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi, A projectile with mass=1 is traveling from origin vec3(0,0,0) with velocity vec3(a,b,c) Does anybody know the formula to calculate where (point in 3D space) it will hit the ground (meaning y equals 0)? Assuming there's no air resistance and we're on earth (g=9.8) Thanks!

cocopino Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks, the "Where will it land?" formula looks exactly like what I need.
