Improving the program
This program can further be improved by plotting the same number of points for each parabola. To achieve this, we can first calculate the total flight duration until the object hits the ground again:
vt = 1/2*g*t**2, v => 1/2*g*t, t= 2*v/g
Then we calculate a fixed number of points (e.g. 50) for each parabola in a for loop.
Like this, we can easily see that for an angle of 30° and 60° the distance covered is the same. This is also true for 10° and 80° or 20° and 70°.
