A missile is fired from the ground with an initial

Chapter 13, Problem 13.115

(choose chapter or problem)

A missile is fired from the ground with an initial velocity \(v_{0}\) forming an angle \(f_{0}\) with the vertical. If the missile is to reach a maximum altitude equal to aR, where R is the radius of the earth, (a) show that the required angle \(f_{0}\)  is defined by the relation

\(\sin \mathrm{f}_{0}=(1+\mathrm{a}) \mathrm{B} \overline{1-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{1+\mathrm{a}}\left(\frac{v_{\text {esc }}}{v_{0}}\right)^{2}}\)

where \(v_{\text {esc }}\) is the escape velocity, (b) determine the range of allowable values of \(v_{0}\).
