written by David Maloney
This item is an annotated homework problem relating to projectile motion for introductory physics students.  Given initial height of the projectile and velocity of a target, how can a projectile be launched to hit the moving object?  This item provides explicit, sequential explanations of the steps needed to form a conceptual framework and find a solution.  It is intended to supplement classroom instruction and traditional text materials.  It is part of a larger collection of similar physics homework problems.
