One day in the jungles of amazon professor max was stalking a rare species of monkeys he spotted one up in a tree and decided to shoot it with a dart rifle if the monkey begins falling the same instant the dart leaves the rifle explain why the professor has to aim directly at the monkey

Answer 1

The reason the professor has to aim directly at the monkey is because of the physics of projectile motion. When the dart leaves the rifle, it will also begin to fall due to gravity. The monkey is also falling due to gravity. In order for the dart to hit the monkey, the professor must aim directly at it so that the dart and the monkey are falling at the same rate. If the professor were to aim above or below the monkey, the dart would miss its target because the monkey would continue to fall while the dart is still in the air. Therefore, to ensure a successful shot, the professor must aim directly at the falling monkey.
