A hunter has a machine gun that can fire `50g` bullet with a velocity of `150m//s`. A `60kg` tiger springs at him with a velocity of `10m//s`. How many bullets must the hunter fire per second into the tiger in order to stop him in the track?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine how many bullets the hunter must fire per second to stop the tiger. We will use the principle of conservation of momentum for this calculation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given data:** - Mass of the bullet, \( m_b = 50 \, \text{g} = 50 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg} = 0.05 \, \text{kg} \) - Velocity of the bullet, \( v_b = 150 \, \text{m/s} \) - Mass of the tiger, \( m_t = 60 \, \text{kg} \) ...
