need help.. carrier 5 miles N of sub traveling E @ 3mins/hr. sub has torpedoe travel @ 40 knots. what is the angle and distance travel of torpedoe to hit carrier, what is travel time . with respect to original sighting
The angle for a torpedo to hit a carrier 5 miles north can be calculated using trigonometry. First, determine the distance between the torpedo and the carrier, which in this case is 5 miles. Then, measure the distance between the torpedo and the surface of the water, as well as the distance between the torpedo and the carrier's keel. These measurements can then be used to calculate the angle using the tangent function.
In order to accurately calculate the travel time for a torpedo to hit a carrier 5 miles north, you will need to know the speed of the torpedo, the distance between the torpedo and the carrier, and any external factors that may affect the torpedo's trajectory, such as wind or currents. It is also important to have accurate measurements of the torpedo's starting position and the carrier's position.
External factors can greatly affect the travel time for a torpedo to hit a carrier 5 miles north. Wind and currents can alter the trajectory of the torpedo, causing it to either speed up or slow down, and potentially miss the target. It is important to take these factors into account when calculating the travel time for a torpedo.
Yes, the angle and travel time for a torpedo to hit a carrier 5 miles north can be calculated for different types of torpedoes. However, the calculations may vary depending on the speed and characteristics of the specific torpedo being used. It is important to have accurate information about the torpedo being used in order to calculate these values correctly.
Yes, there are several equations and formulas that can be used to calculate the angle and travel time for a torpedo to hit a carrier 5 miles north. These include the tangent function for calculating the angle, as well as equations for calculating the distance and time based on the torpedo's speed and the distance between the torpedo and the carrier. It is important to use the appropriate equations and have accurate measurements in order to obtain accurate results.
