Mechanics (M1) help!
« on: January 14, 2010, 03:47:26 pm »
Hey um I came across this math at the end of the may/june 2004 paper 4 (M1) question paper and well the way I solved it doesn't match with the mark scheme and I'm not really getting it. I'd really appreciate it if some one would help me out.

I've attached the question.

Thanks
:)

A hunter, armed with a bow and arrow, takes direct aim at a monkey hanging from the branch of a tree. At the instant that the hunter releases the arrow, the monkey takes a avoiding action by releasing its hand of the branch. By setting up the relevant equations of the motion of the monkey and for the motion of the arrow, show that the monkey was mistaken in its stratergy.

my mistake
a)sqrt(410) *2/9.8
use v^2-u"2+2as to find the speed at the height of the tower
then v=u+at to find time from top of tower to max height then doublr 9it cos it has to come down.
b) is right
c) is sqrt(410) /9.8-1.25
