$1.1.3.$ A bug flew into the room through an open window. The distance from the bug to the ceiling changed
with a speed of 1 m/s, the distance to the wall opposite to the window changed with a speed of 2 m/s, to

<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>
<p>
Let the beetle hit the corner $B$. It is known that after one second of flight the beetle has hit point $B$, so the window is at a distance of $1$ m from the ceiling, since with respect to the ceiling its velocity has changed by $1$ m/s.
</p>
<p>
Relative to the side wall, its velocity changed by $2$ m/s. Therefore, it flew at a distance of $2$ m from the side wall. Point $A$ is the place where the beetle flew into the room.
</p>
<p>
The coordinates of point $A$: $1$ m from the ceiling and $2$ m from the side wall. Knowing the change of velocities along the three directions $XYZ$, let's find the flight velocity of the beetle:
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
$$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2 + v_z^2}, \;(1)$$
</p>
<p>
Let's substitute the values of velocity projections into $(1)$
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
$$v = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2 + 1^2} = 3 \; \frac{m}{s}$$
</p>
</p>
<h4>Answer</h4>
<p>
A beetle flew into the room at point $A$ located $1$ m from the ceiling and $2$ m from the side wall with a velocity of $3\, m/s$
