Hi I have a classical projectile problem:
Car moving west at 50mph. If I am south ten miles and wish to his the object with a canon traveling at 500mph
i) What bearing should I shoot at?
ii) What pitch?
Thanks
Jo
for projectile
x=(Vo cos (Picth)) t
y=(Vo sin(Pitch)t - 1/2 g (t*t)
I got a bearing of 32 degrees (with North as 0 obviously) and a pitch 0f 47 degree.
Is this correct?
