A hunter aims his gun and fires a bullet directly toward's a monkey sitting on a distance tree. At the intant the bullet leaves the barrel of the gun, the monkey drops from the tree :
(i) Will the bullet hit the aim ?
(ii) What Path of bullet will be appeared to monkey ?
(iii) If monkey does not drop from the tree will bullet hit the aim ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i) Bullet falls by `(1)/(2)gt^(2)` which is exactly the amount of distance the monkey falls in this same time. So the bullet wil hit the aim.
(ii) Acceleration of bullet w.r.t. monkey is zero the path of bullet will be appered to monkey is straight line
(iii) If monkey does not drop from the tree then only bullet falls by `(1)/(2)gt^(2)` so the bullet will miss the aim by distance`(1)/(2)gt^(2)`
