Question: At the 2 0 2 3 EAA Air Show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, over 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 aircraft fly in . Pilot's

At the 2023 EAA Air Show in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin, over 100,000 aircraft fly in.
Pilot's need to keep a watch out for
other aircraft. As an example, three
Cessna 172 aircraft are flying at the
same altitude following a straight and
level course. At time (t-0) seconds, the
distance AD,BD, and CD are 20km,25,
and 28km, respectively. Airplane (A)
maintains a constant speed of 300
kmhr and airplanes (B) and (C)
maintain a speed of 400kmhr.
Determine:
a.) The position and velocity of aircraft
(B) relative to aircraft (A) at time
=3 minute. Repeat for aircraft (C) relative to aircraft (A) at time (t=3) minute.
b.) The distance (AB) between aircraft (B) and aircraft (A) at time (t=3) minutes. Repeat
for the distance (AC) between aircraft (C) and aircraft (A) at time (t=3) minute.
c.) The distance and time when the separation between aircraft (B) and (A) is a minimum.
Repeat to find the minimum separation distance and corresponding time between
aircraft (C) and aircraft (A).
d.) If aircraft (A) collides with either aircraft (B) or (C), then calculate the speed for aircraft
(A) so that aircraft (A) flies midway between aircraft (B) and (C).
