Just a bit of trig. What is the height of (x,y) above P? So what is the horizontal distance from (x,y) to P?johnsmith122 said:
In order to calculate the velocity needed to hit a moving target, you will need to know the distance between the launch point and the target, the speed of the target, and the angle at which the projectile is launched. Using these variables, you can use the equation v = d/t to determine the velocity needed to reach the target.
Yes, it is possible to hit a target moving away from the launch point. However, the velocity and angle of the projectile must be carefully calculated in order to account for the target's movement.
There are several factors that can affect the accuracy of hitting a moving target, including the speed and direction of the target, the velocity and angle of the projectile, and external factors such as wind and air resistance. It is important to carefully consider and account for these factors in order to increase the chances of hitting the target.
The launch angle plays a crucial role in hitting a moving target. If the angle is too high, the projectile may travel too far and miss the target. If the angle is too low, the projectile may not have enough velocity to reach the target. It is important to calculate the optimal launch angle based on the target's speed and direction.
The type of projectile that is best for hitting a moving target depends on various factors such as the distance to the target, the speed of the target, and the desired accuracy. Generally, a projectile with a high velocity and aerodynamic design is most suitable for hitting a moving target. However, it is important to carefully consider all factors before selecting a projectile.
