For section one answer each question.

#1) Orbits and Intercept Times
If a scout/courier with jump drive problems departs a size 8 world with a type 6 atmo (Planet A) with a 2G acceleration and a base velocity of 15.13 km/s at time of orbit and the system defense boat leaves the local gas giant (distance 600 million km) with a base velocity of 28.65 km/s and 5G acceleration how long will it take before the referee gives up on the calculations and just gets on with the combat?

Show all work.

Stuff happens - let's get on with the fight

HHMMmmm...
600,000,000=1/2*(28.65-15.13)+ (5G-2G) = 13.52*3^/0.02

UMM...42?
(Beers I mean )

I'd like some of the elements from those tests to end up on the revised IMTU Code. Ok?
