Shoot the Monkey

1. I fired the cannon at a 30 degree angle with an initial velocity of 30 m/s to get the monkey to catch the banana in mid-air.


2. To get a successfull shot you must predict where the monkey will be seconds after the shot is fired. You need to aim where the monkey will be.

As long at the cannon is pointed at the monkey or below him, he will most likely catch the banana because gravity is acting on both the banana and the monkey at -9.8m/s.
