1.In order to save the world from an alien invasion, the military needs to strike the newly landed alien spacecraft with an atomic bomb. The distance from the launch facility to the spacecraft is 152.77 km. Given that the missile was launched with a velocity of 15 m/s at 57° from the horizon, will the missile reach its destination and why?
