Hitting a rocket with a projectile

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the angle of a projectile shot at a rocket just as it reaches its maximum height. The initial conditions involve a person shooting a projectile at a speed v0 and angle θ0 from a distance d, with the rocket experiencing vertical acceleration due to gravity. The participants work through equations to express tan(θ0) in terms of variables A, B, d, and g, avoiding the use of v0. After several iterations and corrections, the final expression derived for tan(θ0) is 3A(A + 2g)/(4Bd), which is confirmed to be dimensionally correct. The discussion concludes with one participant successfully passing their course, indicating the resolution of their queries.
