Select the letter to the left of the applet to initialize Problem I.

1. The target starts moving from rest from the origin at the same time that the projectile is launched horizontally. Determine:

1. the acceleration of the target required to intercept the projectile,
2. where the intercept occurs,
3. the velocity of the target at intercept. Test your predictions.

2. Repeat problem 1 for each of the following initial target velocities. (Find a way to simplify the number of calculations you must do.) a. 10 m/s b. 40 m/s c. 60 m/s d. 80 m/s e. 160 m/s.
