Given the following information on each missile:
1. Initial position in X, Y, Z coordinates (m)
2. Initial mass and landing mass (kg)
3. Initial thrust magnitude (N)
4. Launch direction angle (theta)
5. Burn time (s)
I created a program to read the above input data from a text file to simulate trajectory paths of missiles fired into a mountainous terrain. Next, I used the information to plot several graphs:
1. Altitude vs. Mach
2. Acceleration vs. Time
3. Mach vs. Time
