A hunter is shooting a monkey in a tree with a bow and arrow. Just as he releases the monkey slides off the branch and lets gravity take him to the ground. Would the hunter need to aim above the monkey, at the monkey, or below the monkey for the arrow to hit him. Defend your answer.

Children playing in a playground on the flat roof of a city school lose their ball to the parking lot below. One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in the figure below. The playground is 4.80 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 6.30 m high, forming a 1.50 m high railing around the playground. The ball is launched at an angle of 0 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.

A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 26.0 m/sm/s at a fixed angle of 53.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal. The firefighters want to direct the water at a blaze that is 12.0 mm above ground level. How far from the building should they position their cannon?
