Accepted Answer

Yes, the bullet does hit the monkey since it gets into the path of the bullet by dropping down.Does the bullet hit the monkey?We know that the movement of the bullet would follow a parabolic path. The parabolic path means that the bullet would curve after the bullet has been fired.Let us recall that projectiles are said to follow a parabolic or a curved path. This implies that when we throw a stone in air for example, the stone would tend to bend and this bending is what we call a parabolic path.As the monkey drops at the sight of the bullet, the monkey would now put itself in the path of the bullet as the bullet curves in the parabolic path hence it hits the monkey. This is one of the applications of the idea of a projectile motion.Learn more about projectiles:https://brainly.com/question/11422992#SPJ1Missing parts';A hunter directs his uncalibrated rifle toward a monkey sitting on a tree, at a height  h  above the ground and at distance  d.
