Free fall, hit the target, projectile problem

[QUOTE="Ibix, post: 4510964, member: 365269"] The shooter is on top of another building - so your equation 1 is only correct if h is the difference between the heights of the buildings. Fixing that, then #2 is an equation describing the vertical motion of the dart and monkey. Essentially, it tells you when the monkey drops below the dart. On the other hand, #3 is talking about horizontal motion of the dart. It tells you when the dart passes the (vertically falling) monkey. If the monkey drops past the dart at the same time as the dart passes the monkey, they hit. This probably isn't right, because a dart doesn't follow a purely ballistic trajectory - it is also an aerodynamic body. [/QUOTE]
