Finding Velocity and Acceleration Along a Plane Curve In Exercises 1-8,the position vector describes the path of an object moving in the xy-plane. (a) Find the velocity vector,speed,and acceleration vector of the object. (b) Evaluate the velocity vector and acceleration vector of the object at the given point. (c) Sketch a graph of the path,and sketch the velocity and acceleration vectors at the given point. Position Vector Point \(\mathbf{r}(t)=3 t \mathbf{i}+(t-1) \mathbf{j}\) (3, 0) Text Transcription: r(t)=3t i + (t-1)j

Question
Projectile Motion In Exercises 25-38,use the model for projectile motion,assuming there is no air resistance.
A bomber is flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet at a speed of 540 miles per hour (see figure). When should the bomb be released for it to hit the target? (Give your answer in terms of the angle of depression from the plane to the target.) What is the speed of the bomb at the time of impact?
Solution
The first step in solving 12.3 problem number 34 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Projectile Motion In Exercises 25-38,use the model for projectile motion,assuming there is no air resistance.A bomber is flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet at a speed of 540 miles per hour (see figure). When should the bomb be released for it to hit the target? (Give your answer in terms of the angle of depression from the plane to the target.) What is the speed of the bomb at the time of impact?
From the textbook chapter Velocity and Acceleration you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
