Description
A hunter spies a monkey in a tree, takes aim, and fires. At the moment the bullet leaves the gun the monkey lets go of the tree branch and drops straight down.
To simulate this experiment, a ballbearing is aimed upwards at a suspended metal disc. When the ballbearing is shot, the disc is released. The ballbearing will hit the disc because their vertical acceleration is equal.
Equipment
- Item 1
- Item 2
Instructions
