It seems like there is a missing term for gravity equation while calculating the y-axis position of the parabolic equation.
Currently, the code calculates the y-axis position as follows:
# work out initial velocities and coefficients of the parabola
self._ux = self._velocity * cos(self._theta)
self._uy = self._velocity * sin(self._theta)
self._a = -0.5 / (self._ux * self._ux)
self._b = self._uy / self._ux
# work out points of the trajectory
for x in range(0, self.X_MAX):
xn = x / self._scale
y = self._ref.Y - (int)((self._a * xn * xn + self._b * xn) * self._scale)
self._trajectory.append(Point2D(x + self._ref.X, y))
The correct equation is following:
$$
y_t = y_0 - \frac{1}{2} \times g \times t^2 + v_0 \times \sin(\theta) \times t
$$
Therefore, the code should be modified as follows:
# gravity
g = 0.48 * 9.81 / self.scale_factor
# coefficients of the parabola
self._a = -0.5 / (self._ux * self._ux) * g
