Rotation based on velocity on one axis

Questions & Answers
1

Hi there, I am currently trying to achieve a rotation to a 3D object on only on axis, this being the Z axis.
Imagine this scenario, the player is shot out of a cannon, with a random speed based on some previous actions, I then need to player to rotate, based on the speed of which it is throw out the cannon, any help is much appreciated!
Thanks

I think you are asking this:

  float rotateSpeed = rigidbody.velocity.magnitude * factor;
  transform.Rotate(0,0,rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

‘factor’ is a variable you define that maps a velocity to degrees per second.
