Help with My Homework (Just Kidding)

African or European?

Is he falling headfirst? Spinning? Is he/she "pancaking". How big of a monkey (area)?

Let mw know all thows things and I am certain someone else can do the math .

Species?

Age? (might have lost hairs like us you know) do they ? Where was he hit, how much time (in second) after the hit he fell down, how much blood soaked his furs (they will reduce the drag- what was the weather like - RH, temperature, pressure, air density ? any sort of air draft ? Any body testing the antigravity generator nearby ?

If monkey= primate and human = primate, then Cd~= 1 for the primate being shot by hunter.

Some would object to characterization, Some would not. Interestingly the 0.12M^2 area allows me to ask, how large a monkey?

milo Never giveup- just alter the givens and assumptions until you can succeed!

You could ask the animal channel.

what is the mass of the monkey, what is the wind strenghth (if there is wind) is it raining? the drag factor changes when the hair is wet. where is the monkey? on the equator? to much unknowns

Actually, air resistance is irrelevant as the monkey will be hit by the bullet before it reaches a speed where air resistance can have an influence on its falling speed. Unless you have a tree of more than three stories high or a very small and lightweight monkey.

did the bullet pass thru or it remained embedded in the body. Was it fired thru by a shot gun ?

Did it take out/ distort the shape of fallling mass on impact ?

Were there any animal activists (Peta or others around) - by seeing them the hunter and the monkey might have been distracted and the monkey might have jumped to ground (now the drag - or attraction- coefficient) might be different -

The equations is , you know

Monkey = primate , Hunter = primate , Peta = primate

All same genus ? (i think so never studied biology)

Hunter and Peta - commmon factor - both homo sapiens

Monkey - Peta - common factor : both in buff

Monkey, Hunter - common factor (assumption) - both male otherwise why the hunter shot the monkey ?

We have to calculate too many attractions and repulsions to take care of and these are much more than the Gravity of the situation ( an animal getting shot) or Gravity of Newton (see: apple - also see: apple as related to adam and eve)

We have to find whether there were and snakes around.

Too complicated - I still recommend the antigravity thread to look into this aspect to make the antigravity machine

I don't remember, but i feel gravity is a weak force isn't it in the theoritical physics ? even it is strong it will not be as strong as the other three interaction forces mentioned above.

Head splitting can not think- have to see and measure - get me the monkey, gun and peta in reverse order.

Lubricated?, or dry?

should ask in that forum (this will be OF - off forum here)

"A hunter aims his gun at a monkey in a tree, as he pulls the trigger the monkey falls. . ."

It's never stated that the Monkey is actually shot or that the gun in fact goes off. Assuming that it did there would be some sort of pressure wave ahead of the bullet that would have an affect which of course would be dependant upon the phase of the moon and gravitational effect which in turn is affected by location. Anyways, I'm sure there's a simple solution to this at the local Starbucks..........

5 the answer is always 5.

I add 1 to your 5 see my mail (and add a GA to it) or an off topic, both way OK. I dont like all these mongrels (half pointer and half dis-appointer)

Re "A hunter aims...". The one question that no one has asked as yet: What was the caliber of the bullet that hit the monkey? This could have serious consequences re "falling:, whether the monkey was in one piece, did the kinetic energy toss the monkey 20 feet higher before it fell? And so on. Did the shot hit bone? Velocity and kinetic energy of the round at the time of impact?

I would go for the most right one but maybe not much monkey left after that hits.

I doubt very seriously that Drag coefficients of monkeys is a problem that comes up frequently and there for researched.

You may want to look at the packaging industries for items that may be the same mass as your monkey in question and extrapolate information from here.

Maybe he meat packing industry or toy monkeys?

Just a thought.

I would think it would be very important to know what type of tree and how many limbs that monkey hit on the way down. Was he a bouncer, limb grabber or a free falling monkey?

One must do an experiment. Years ago, when I worked for an unnamed research institution in San Antonio, Texas, we had an air-powered "Chicken Gun"- used to propell objects at mockups of aircraft parts (think "bird strikes" like what downed the Airbus 320 in the Hudson River). Originally, they had to use live chickens, to callibrate the equipment. Then they found that thawed dead chickens did not give the same flight and impact results as live chickens, so a great deal of money was spent developing a synthetic chicken that more closely matched the results obtained with live chickens.

I did not make this up. The air cannon used in this program sat under my second floor office, and there was never any doubt when testing was in progress.

Anyway, I see the potential for a multi-million dollar research project. Where should I send the proposal?

This is unfortunately a de-bunking of a great urban legend about the rooster booster.

But, it's still quite funny and contains a cautionary tail for Del.

Normally I stay out of trees, but that hurt like hell and I felt no drag whatsoever.

There have been a lot of great questions posed for this as far as size and type of monkey but who has spoken for the tree? How tall was the tree and how far was the drop? Was the tree damaged by the bullet or the monkey bouncing off of it? What type of tree was it? Male or female? (How would you know?)

There are far too many parts of the equation left out to find a true and acceptable answer.
