 You need to tell the runaway researcher the exact time from your starting time to jump onto your hovercraft as you may only have one shot at this rescue.

+Just as you are about to radio the time to jump to the runaway researcher, you realize the steering and acceleration controls have become frozen on your hovercraft and so it continues to accelerate and you cannot change direction. 200m ahead of the point at which you were going to tell the researcher to jump is an ice ravine. At the bottom of the ice ravine, 400m below, is an unfrozen salt water pool surrounded by stalagmites. From the ravine's edge to the pool is 490m and the pool stretches for 900m. You are moving too quickly to survive jumping off the hovercraft, but might survive the fall into the pool by staying on the hovercraft; it has seat belts. You now have a choice to make, to stay on your hovercraft or jump to the runaway researcher's hovercraft. One or both may make it to the pool. Your choice may be the difference between life and death.

+====== Project 2: Part C: Escape from ice station McMurdo ======
+Surprisingly enough hovercrafts are an expensive piece of kit. Your employer, the Carver Media Group, is concerned by the happenings at the McMurdo ice station and would like you to produce an accident report detailing the events after you lost control of your hovercraft.  The accident report should include a detailed computational model that provides the projected motion of only the __runaway hovercraft__.

+====== Project 2: Part D: Escape from ice station McMurdo ======
+The Carver Media Group is now asking for an accident report for the your hovercraft as well. They want to you simulate the events from the point at which the two hovercrafts meet to when the hovercraft reached the water, however, they want you to model the hovercraft as if it had left the cliff at angle of 27 degrees from the ground. They want this model to be in the same model as the model for the runaway craft.
