Why do I keep getting matrix dimensions must agree?

1 view (last 30 days)
I keep getting this error and I can't figure out why. Here's my code
g= 9.81
v0=[5,10,15,20];
theta= [0, .17453293, .52359878, .78539816, 1.04719755,1.57079633];
tf=2*v0.*sin(theta)/g;
t=0:0.01:tf; hold all x=v0.*(theta).*t;
y=v0*sin(theta)*t-g*t.^2/2;
hold on plot(x,y)
Matrix dimensions must agree.
Error in BallTrajectory (line 7) tf=2*v0.*sin(theta)/g;

>> size(v0)
ans =
1 4
>> size(theta)
ans =
1 6
So it is complaining about the v0 .* sin(theta) operation

tf is a vector. What are you expecting to get with the t=0:0.01:tf ?
What is your ultimate goal here? To produce multiple plots with different values of tf?

Yes that’s the goal. Doing multiple plots with different inputs for initial velocity and launch angle.
