A hunter has a maching gun that can fire 50g bullets with a velocity of `100"ms"^(-1).` A 60 kg tiger springs at him with a velocity of `10"ms"^(-1).` How many bullets must the hunter fire into the target so as to stop him in his track ?

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to apply the principle of conservation of momentum. The total momentum before the bullets are fired must equal the total momentum after the bullets have impacted the tiger.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the given values**:
- Mass of each bullet, \( m_b = 50 \, \text{g} = 0.05 \, \text{kg} \) (convert grams to kilograms)
- Velocity of each bullet, \( v_b = 100 \, \text{m/s} \)
- Mass of the tiger, \( M = 60 \, \text{kg} \)
