A passage of an aerial acrobatics show in a duo is modelled as follows:
  • we place ourselves in an orthonormal coordinate system $(O ; \vec { \imath } , \vec { \jmath } , \vec { k })$, where one unit represents one metre;
  • plane no. 1 must travel from point O to point $A(0 ; 200 ; 0)$ along a straight trajectory, at the constant speed of $200 \mathrm {~m/s}$;
  • plane no. 2 must travel from point $B(-33 ; 75 ; 44)$ to point $C(87 ; 75 ; -116)$ also along a straight trajectory, and at the constant speed of $200 \mathrm {~m/s}$;
  • at the same instant, plane no. 1 is at point O and plane no. 2 is at point B.

  1. Justify that plane no. 2 will take the same time to travel segment $[BC]$ as plane no. 1 to travel segment $[OA]$.
  2. Show that the trajectories of the two planes intersect.
  3. Is there a risk of collision between the two planes during this passage?
