An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 3.0 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bushes 87.5 m away attempting to subdue the monkey with a tranquilizer gun. the vet knows that the moment the gun fires the monkey will be frightened and fall down from the branch. what angle up from the ground must the veterinarian aim the gun so that the tranquilizer dart will hit the falling monkey?

here in the given situation if monkey starts free fall at the same instant when veterinarian shoots towards it then we know that vertical component of motion of monkey and the dart will be same as under gravity

so here the dart will always hit the monkey because they both moves under same acceleration

so here for the angle we can use

now we have

H = 3 m

L = 87.5 m

now we will have

so angle will be 1.96 degree above the ground

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
