    Solving for Projectile Velocity for Intercepting A Moving Target

    Sure, sorry for the confusion. Yes, the hunter scenario best describes what I'm aiming for. I've edited the original post to make it clearer to anyone else who sees it. Here are the equations governing the motions of the projectile and the target, and below those, the unknown and known...

    Solving for Projectile Velocity for Intercepting A Moving Target

    Thanks for your response! Only the target will be moving with a constant velocity, however. I probably wasn't clear enough in my statement of the problem. The projectile itself will have a fixed initial speed, but will undergo constant acceleration. An example situation closer to what I'm...

    Solving for Projectile Velocity for Intercepting A Moving Target

    Homework Statement Find \vec{v}_{P} (initial velocity) for a projectile with an arbitrary\left\|\vec{v}_{P}\right\| (fixed initial speed), constant acceleration \vec{a}_{P}, and starting position \vec{p}_P so that it will intercept an object whose movement is described by the equation T(t)...
