A fighter plane flying horizontally in a straight line at 900km/h is overtaking bomber flying in the same straight line at 720km/h. The pilot of the fighter plane fires an air-to- air missile at the bomber when his plane is 1150m behind the bomber. The missile accelerates at a constant rate of 400m/s² for Is and then travels at a constant speed. - 1150m Questions: a) [10 points] How many seconds after the fighter fires the missile will it reach the bomber? b) [10 points] If both planes continue at constant speeds, what will be the distance between the planes when the missile strikes the bomber? c) [10 points] The pilot of the bomber detects the incoming missile when it is 200m away and decides to eject. His reaction time for ejecting is 0.5s. Will he eject before the missile strikes the bomber?
