[g=9.8ms2 and air resistance is neglected] Assume that there is an object A thrown with an initial velocity V1,i=15.0ms making an angle 1=50 with the horizontal (object A is located at the origin of an xy-frame). Assume you designed an interceptor device, that has a response time t0=0.15s, which you place at a distance d=30.0m from the object A . The interceptor will throw a projectile B with a speed V2,i=25.0ms at unknown angle 2. You need to determine whether the angle 2 exists. To do that you need to:
Find the condition(s) needed so that the interception would occur?
Determine whether projectile A will be intercepted or not? [note: graphical solution is not allowed].
a. If the answer is that projectile A will be intercepted, then:
i. Derive/write an equation that can be used to calculate the angle [in degrees] that the initial velocity of projectile B should have with respect to the x-axis? Draw a diagram showing the direction of the initial velocity and the interception trajectory?
ii. Write down the equation needed to calculate the collision time? Then use the above parameters to calculate it.
iii. Write down the equations needed to calculate the coordinates of the interception point? Then use the above parameters to calculate those coordinates.
