[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 4515540, member: 334404"] The complete argument runs like this: assume, as nasu says, that the person firing the projectile made no allowance for gravity and simply pointed straight at Miley. If it takes time t for the projectile to cover the horizontal distance to Miley, then it will be 0.5gt[SUP]2[/SUP] below where Miley had been (i.e. below where it would have been without gravity). In the same time, Miley has fallen 0.5gt[SUP]2[/SUP], so the projectile hits the target. [/QUOTE]
