Projectile Motion - Fortran program and LaTeX Write-up

FORTRAN PROGRAM:
This program takes in initial velocity and angle of trajectory as user inputs and utilizes these initial conditions and the kinematic equations of motion to come up with data that can be used to plot the projectile motion. The program is designed to only take in four specific initial condition combinations and stop the program otherwise. Each of these combinations opens a .dat file into which the aforementioned data is written. A plot is created in XMGrace to graph the data for all four combinations. This plot can be seen in the LaTeX Write-up under Figure 3.

LaTeX Write-up:
A LaTeX paper was written to accompany the program. It includes a complete derivation of the kinematic equations and other equations used in the program, a brief description and explanation of the code, results (including the plot made in XMGrace), and hand calculations proving the program's accuracy.
