Sometimes in movies someone stops a car by shooting at it. In this problem you will evaluate the feasibility of this. A car of mass 1118kg (the mass of the Chevrolet Corvair) is driving in the i direction at 30" (about 67mph). How many times must it be shot with at 15g bullets (mass of a 45 caliber round) traveling at 250 to bring it to a stop. Assume that the first bullet disables the engine so that the vehicle is coasting (this is itself a highly unrealistic assumption).
