Consider this scenario when an army ship Chases an enemy ship. Bullets and scud missiles are launched from the army ship towards the enemy ship. Discuss whether or not the enemy ship can be intercepted in a situation where the missile fired does not hit the enemy ship​

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
