ENGR132: HW05 - model_rocket_name

function [] = model_rocket_name(vel_ini, angle)

% FUNCTION: Calculates the height of the rocket and distance the
% rocket travels for each second until it hits the water.
%
% INPUTS:
% 1) vel_ini: The initial velocity of the rocket. (m/s)
% 2) angle: The angle of the rocket. (degrees)
%
% OUTPUTS:
% Will print: The current height and distance at each second.

%Set G constant to 9.81 m/s^2
G = 9.81;
%Sets vertical distance (m) to 1.
dist_v = 1;
%Sets horizontal distance to 0.
dist_h = 0;
%Sets the current time (second) to 0
time = 0;

%Loops until the vertical distance is less than 0 (rocket in the water);
%loops while horizontal distance is 0 in order to continue loop upon
%calculation with time 0 and loops while distance is more than 1 for all
%regular calculations.
while dist_h == 0 || dist_v > 1
    %Calculates horizontal distance. (m)
    dist_h = (vel_ini * cosd(angle)) * time;
    %Calculates vertical distance. (m)
    dist_v = (vel_ini * sind(angle)) * time - (0.5 * G * time^2);

    %If the vertical distance is less than 0, exit the loop; boundary set
    %to less than 0 in order to print values if the horizontal
    %distance has reached 0.
    if dist_v < 0
        break
    %If above water, print values.
    else
        fprintf('At %d seconds, the height is %0.2f m and distance is %0.2f m\n',time,dist_v,dist_h);
        %Increments time by 1.
        time = time + 1;
    end %If (break) end
