1. A pellet gun fires ten 2.0 g pellets per second with a speed of 500 m/s. The pellets are stopped by a rigid wall. What are (a) the magnitude of the momentum of each pellet, (b) the kinetic energy of each pellet, and (c) the magnitude of the average force on the wall from the stream of pellets? (d) If each pellet is in contact with the wall for 0.60 ms, what is the magnitude of the average force on the wall from each pellet during contact? (e) Why is this average force so different from the average force calculated in (c)?
2. Can someone please explain to me step by step how I might go about solving this problem? I am stuck. Thanks. FYI this isn't really homework due tomorrow but I though I would try and get ahead.
3. I was going to post my work here but I'm sure it's completely wrong.
