Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 108TDI
A park ranger shoots a monkey hanging from a branch of a tree with a tranquilizing dart. The ranger aims directly at the monkey, not realizing that the dart will follow a parabolic path and, therefore, will fall below the monkey’s position. The monkey, however, seeing the dart leave the gun, lets go of the branch to avoid being hit. Will the monkey be hit anyway? Defend your answer.

A baseball player tosses the ball straight up in the air from the surface of the Earth. What must be true at the highest point the ball reaches?
A park ranger wants to shoot a monkey hanging from a branch of a tree with a tranquilizing dart. The ranger aims directly at the monkey, not realizing that the dart will follow a parabolic path and thus will fall below the monkey. The monkey, however, sees the dart leave the gun and lets go of the branch to avoid being hit. Will the monkey be hit anyway? Does the velocity of the dart affect your answer, assuming that it is great enough to travel the horizontal distance to the tree before hitting the ground? Defend your answer.
A batter checks her swing as a 0.15 kg baseball crosses home plate outside the strike zone. If the separation between the batter and the ball is 0.77m and the gravitational force exerted on the batter by the ball is 1.1 x 10-9
N, then what is the mass of the batter?
