In a proof-of-concept experiment for an antiballistic missile defense system, a missile is fired from the ground of a shooting range toward a stationary target on the ground. The system detects the missile by radar, analyzes in real time its parabolic motion, and determines that it was fired from a distance x0 = 5000 m, with an initial speed of 600 m/s at a launch angle θ 0 = 20°. The defense system then calculates the required time delay measured from the launch of the missile and fires a small rocket situated at y 0= 500 m with an initial velocity of ν0 m/s at a launch angle α0 = 60° in the yz -plane, to intercept the missile. Determine the initial speed ν0 of the intercept rocket and the required time delay.
