Abanana is fired from a cannon on the ground just as a monkey starts to fall from a tree. the monkey catches the banana in midair as it falls to the ground. what was definitely true about the banana and monkey just before the monkey caught the banana?
a. the banana and monkey traveled the same distance from their initial positions.
b. the banana and monkey had the same vertical velocity.
c. the banana and monkey had the same acceleration.
d. all of the above.

Here banana is fired from the canon towards the monkey with certain velocity

while at the same instant when banana is fired money starts to fall from the tree

So here when monkey is in the mid air he catches the banana

It is possible because in the same interval of time when the monkey cover some distance from the tree towards ground then in the same time banana cover the distance from ground towards monkey

So they meet at some point in the mid air

So here since both are moving free in air so they both must have same vertical acceleration

this is acceleration due to gravity

so here correct answer will be

C. The banana and monkey had the same acceleration.

get the total number of pieces of fruit and divide it by 4 to get the average. the result is the answer to the problem. 14 total number of fruits and there are 4 members. 14 divided by 4 is equals to 3.5.
