For my intro to physics class, we have to do a project known as Phylm, in which we analyze a scene from a movie that utilizes physics in some way and then determine, based on our findings, whether the situation is viable or not. I'm using the scene from V for Vendetta in which V throws a pair of knives and knocks two bodyguards back approximately 1.52 Meters. My question is, using the data below, how do I figure out the velocity of the knife, and then how much force it would take a man to throw the knife at that velocity? The collision is perfectly inelastic.
Weight of knife (a): .567 Kg
Weight of bodyguard: 104.8 Kg
Distance bodyguard travels after being hit: 1.52 m
Initial velocity of bodyguard: 0 m/s2
