rocket was launched to hit the terrorist’ hideout at a velocity of 15 000 ft/s at a target 300 mi away. At what angle must it be fired to hit the target? How long after it is fired will the target be hit? If the terrorist discovered the point to eliminate them 2 minutes after the rocket was launched, will they escape alive? Explain
