Question

A hunter is aiming horizontally at a monkey who is sitting in a tree. The monkey is so terrified when it sees the gun that it falls off the tree. At that very instant, the hunter pulls the trigger. What will happen?
a) The bullet will miss the monkey because the monkey falls down while the bullet speeds straight forward.
b) The bullet will hit the monkey because both the monkey and the bullet are falling downward at the same rate due to gravity.
c) The bullet will miss the monkey because although both the monkey and the bullet are falling downward due to gravity, the monkey is falling faster.
d) It depends on how far the hunter is from the monkey.

Answer 1
