Hello,
I am trying to work out a problem for my work.

I have a soccer ball which is being kicked horizontally.
I have the initial Velocity vector, and the angel.

I would like to find the position of the ball (in 3d space, x,y,z axis) at a given horizontal distance.

Also given are the horizontal distance the ball makes between each bounce, and max height the ball reach
each bounce. Is there a way to find the Y position of the ball just by those values, if we know the total
horizontal distance the ball passed?

Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks for taking a look.
 
1) If it is being kicked HORIZONTALLY, why do you also need and Angle?
2) There are standard ideal relationships between Location, Velocity, and Acceleration. Have you seen them?
3) How precise do you need? Air Resistance make a difference in the real world.

Show us you best work.
