A hungry monkey is sitting at the top of a tree 69 m above ground level. A person standing on the ground wants to feed the monkey. He uses a tee-shirt cannon to launch bananas at the monkey. If the person knows that the monkey is going to drop from the tree at the same instant that the person launches the bananas, how should the person aim the banana cannon

Well if you want to be sure you should just throw it to the ground so then when he lands he can catch it.

If the cannon throws the banana with the same force the monkey falls

(m.g=Fz <=> m.9,81N/kg=...N).

Then the throw will slow down because of the gravitational pull.

Because the banana cannon is selfmade you can choose what mass the bananas in question have, so let that be the same as the monkeys.

The monkey falls with the speed of 9,81m.s => so it takes the monkey 7,1s to land.

If the cannon can shoot the banana at the same speed the monkey falls then they would cross in the middle.

So to do so you need to throw the bananas with a speed of at least 9,81m.s

Soo ... throw them with a force of that is greater then the gravitational pull and things will work out.

I'm sorry I don't know why I wrote all of this irrelevant information it's 2:21 right now and I'm tired.

kind regards

what is the speed of a softball that travels 20m in 2secs

speed = 20/2 = 10 m/s

answer; how far out of place which the object finished relative to the starting location;
