These are the winning worksheets from our "Fly swatting with Mathcad" contest that we had run on the Mathcad blog in March/April 2011.
A fly is sitting at a distance of h from a man with a fly swatter. At time t=0 the fly is pursued by the man who has a constant acceleration of 1. The fly flies in a straight line away from the man with an acceleration of 0.6t. What is the largest initial separation, h, for which the man can intercept the fly?
Thanks to everyone who participated and congratulations to the winners!
