Product Specification Sheet
Monkey Hunting Apparatus II
Model Number: MTM-58
The Monkey Hunting Apparatus II from Micro Technologies is designed to demonstrate the independence of projectile motion from the path of a falling target under gravity. It combines a spring-loaded launcher, electromagnetically suspended monkey target and stable table-clamp mounting plate. When the projectile is fired, the target is released simultaneously, allowing both to fall under gravitational acceleration while the projectile travels toward the target. The apparatus can also function as a trajectory demonstrator.

FAQs
What is Monkey Hunting Apparatus II used for?
It is used to demonstrate projectile motion under gravity and show how horizontal and vertical components of motion behave independently.
How does the Monkey Hunting experiment work?
A projectile launcher is aimed directly at an electromagnetically suspended target. When the projectile is fired, the target is released simultaneously and begins falling under gravity.
Why can the projectile still hit the falling target?
Both the projectile and target experience approximately the same vertical acceleration due to gravity after release, so both fall vertically while the projectile continues moving toward the target.
What type of launcher is provided?
The apparatus uses a spring-loaded projectile launcher.
How is the monkey target suspended?
The target is held in its initial position using an electromagnetic arrangement.
When is the target released?
The apparatus is designed so the target is released at approximately the same time the projectile is fired.
Can the apparatus demonstrate projectile trajectories?
Yes. In addition to the Monkey Hunting experiment, it can function as a trajectory apparatus for suitable projectile-motion demonstrations.
What does the experiment teach about gravity?
It demonstrates that gravity acts vertically on both the projectile and falling target regardless of the projectile's horizontal motion.
Does the apparatus have a mounting arrangement?
Yes. It features a stable table-clamp mounting plate for secure experimental positioning.
Where can Monkey Hunting Apparatus II be used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories, colleges, universities and scientific teaching facilities.
