Ok so I'm trying to show how a bullet in real life will not actually make a person fly backwards like it does in movies. I have some idea of how to go about this but need help.
So far...
I know it's a perfectly inelastic collision since the bullet sticks into the person so would I have to use this? m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2) v2f
Or would I only be using momentum and/or force?
Bullet
m=.008kg
v= 430 m/s
Person
m=84kg
