A banana is fired from a cannon on the ground just as a monkey starts to fall from a tree. The monkey catches the banana in midair as it falls to the ground. What was definitely true about the banana and monkey just before the monkey caught the banana?

Something that is definitely true is that the constant acceleration has to affect the monkey and the banana beacuse both are affected by the gravity. Gravity imparts exactly the same acceleration on both things while falling and it affects them in the same way
