Projectile motion: change an old code and make it more beautiful
The code you post answers almost all questions, at least the way I interpret them. All I did was to store v
and alpha
in "functions" and to use some double line trickery to get a different representation of the trajectory.

\usepackage[prefix=]{xcolor-material}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[x=(330:1cm),y=(30:1cm),z=(90:1cm),
declare function={v=70;% <- velocity (input)
alpha=30;% <- angle (input)
T=2*v*sin(alpha)/9.807;}]

\fill [Green] (9,0,0) circle [x radius=1.5, y radius=1];
\fill [black] (10,0,0) circle [x radius=.1, y radius=.1];
\draw [Brown, thick, line cap=round] (10,0,0) -- (10,0,1);
\fill [Red] (10,0,1) -- (9.8,0,0.9) -- (10,0,0.8) -- cycle;
\fill [Yellow, shift={(7,0,0)}]
plot [domain=0:340, samples=20, smooth cycle, variable=\t]
(\t:rnd/16+0.25 and rnd/8+0.75);
\draw [x=(330:0.5pt), z=(90:0.5pt), Black, dash pattern=on 0.1pt off 4pt,
double,double distance=2pt,line cap=round]
plot [smooth, domain=0:T, samples=50, variable=\t]
({v*\t*cos(alpha)}, 0,{ -9.807/2*\t*\t+v*\t*sin(alpha)+0.1016})
coordinate (end);
\fill [White] (end) circle [radius=1pt];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Two major changes:
- lines that draw the two axes as well as the origin and
- some
<mark options>
used in\draw plot[..., <mark options>]
that draw the (equally x-spaced) balls of golf.
