Question

a hunter aims his gun and fires a bullet directly at a monkey in a tree. at the instant the bullet leaves the barrel of the gun,the monkey drops. will the bullet hit the monkey .substantiate your answer with proper reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes the bullet will hit the monkey as both fall with downward accleration of g m/s^2.

Hint:
The bullet will hit the monkey at a ht. S above the ground given by:

S = V*Sin(theta)*t - (1/2)*g*t^2

{V-initial velocity at an angle theta with horizontal}
During this time t, the monkey falls by a distance = (1/2)*g*t^2
