- Functions
Create a function file that calculates the trajectory of a projectile. The
inputs to the function should be the initial velocity and the angle at
which the projectile is fired. The outputs from the function should be the
maximum height and distance. In addition, the function should generate
a plot of the trajectory. Use the function to calculate the trajectory of a
projectile that is fired at a velocity of230 m/sat an angle of 39 ◦.
