A monkey is hanging from a branch located exactly 24 meters along the ground from the hunter. The monkey is 14 meters above the ground. The hunter aims directly at the monkey and fires a water balloon at the monkey just as the monkey releases his grip. The balloon has an initial velocity of 40m/s.

A. How long until the balloon reaches the monkey

C. At what speed should the balloon be launched so that the monkey is hit by the balloon exactly 3 meters above the ground.

My answers: For A I got .695 seconds
