The physics

Gravity gives the dart and the monkey the same acceleration g downward. So their relative acceleration is zero.

a(dart) − a(monkey) = g − g = 0

Relative to the monkey, the dart moves in a straight line at constant velocity. Aim that line at the monkey, and the dart must meet it. It only has to get there before the monkey lands.

meeting time t = L / u    hit height = H − ½ g t²

A camera that falls freely sees exactly this: no gravity, straight-line motion.
