A cruel hunter takes aim horizontally at a monkey that is hanging from the branch of a tree, as shown in Figure $10.13 .$ The monkey lets go of the branch as soon as the hunter pulls the trigger. Treating the monkey and the bullet as point particles, determine if the bullet will hit the monkey.
Mechanics
Projectile motion
A person takes an aim at a monkey sitting on a tree and fires a buliet. Seeking the smoke the monkey begins to fall freely; then the bullet will a. always hit the monkey b. go above the monkey c. go below the monkey d. hit the monkey if the initial velocity of the bullet is\} more than a certain velocity
A zookeeper is trying to shoot a monkey sitting at the top of a tree with a tranquilizer gun. If the monkey drops from the tree at the same instant that the zookeeper fires, where should the zookeeper aim if he wants to hit the monkey? (Neglect any effects due to air resistance.) A. Aim straight at the monkey. B. Aim lower than the monkey. C. Aim higher than the monkey. D. Aim to the right of the monkey. E. It's impossible to determine.
