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 although both the monkey and the bullet are falling downward due to gravity, the monkey is falling faster.
b. The bullet will miss the monkey because the monkey falls down while the bullet speeds straight forward.
c. The bullet will hit the monkey because both the monkey and the bullet are falling downward at the same rate due to gravity.
d. It depends on how far the hunter is from the monkey.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The bullet will hit the monkey because both the monkey and the bullet are falling downward at the same rate due to gravity.

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration due to gravity is equal g m/s².The acceleration due to gravity is in downward direction always and the numerical value is equal to g =10 m/s².

Both the bullet and money moving downward with constant acceleration that is why bullet will hit the money.

Therefore the answer is C.
