Question

HW3-3 A fighter jet is on an mission to bomb a target located at the origin of the coordinate system shown in figure. At t 0, the pilot find the target and the coordinate of the jet is (-LL), where L=H-2000m, and the jet is flying downward at an angle (8-370) with a constant speed v,(v, 100 m/s), (A)lf the pilot is to keep the velocity unchanged, find the time when pilot should release the bomb so that it will hit the target. (B) if at 0, the target starts moving in the tx-direction with constant speed of TVT 5 m/sec), then determine the time t, for the bomb to hit the target. (The gravitation acceleration g = 10 m/s2 , 1012 3.2) 1,

Explanation / Answer

along horizontal


before releasing the bomb

x1 = 100*cos37*t1

after releasing the bomb

x2 = 100*cos37*t2

x1 + x2 = 2000


2000 = 100*cos37*(t1+t2)....(1)


along vertical


before releasing

-y1 = -100*sin37*t1


after releasing


-y2 = -100*sin37*t2 - (1/2)*10*t2^2


y1 + y2 = 2000 =


-2000 = -100*sin37*t1-100*sin37*t2 - 5*t2^2........(1)

solving 1 & 2

t1 = 15.1 s <<<<<------ANSWER

===========================


part B

along horizontal


before releasing the bomb

x1 = 100*cos37*t1

after releasing the bomb

x2 = 100*cos37*t2

for target


x3 = vT*(t1+t2) = 5*(t1+t2)

x1 + x2 = 2000 + x3

2000 = (100*cos37 + 5)*(t1+t2) ....(1)


along vertical


before releasing

-y1 = -100*sin37*t1


after releasing


-y2 = -100*sin37*t2 - (1/2)*10*t2^2


y1 + y2 = 2000 =


-2000 = -100*sin37*t1-100*sin37*t2 - 5*t2^2........(1)

solving 1 & 2

t1 = 12.8 s

t2 = 10.8 s

time taken to hit the target = t1 + t2 = 23.6 s <<<---ANSWER
