Question

A hunter points a rifle directly at a coconut that he intends to shoot off a tree. It so happens that the coconut falls from the tree at the exact instant the hunter pulls the trigger. What happens to the bullet?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The bullet will hit the coconut .

Both coconut and bullet will fall under the gravitational pull of the earth . They will experience same acceleration because acceleration does not depend upon mass . So both bullet and coconut will fall by the same distance vertically .

So bullet will exactly hit the coconut .
