What is magnitude of the average force on supermans chest

Reference no: EM13542443

It is well known that bullets and other missiles fired at Superman simply bounce off his chest. Suppose that a gangster sprays Superman's chest with 6 g bullets at the rate of 100 bullets/min, the speed of each bullet being 450 m/s. Suppose too that the bullets rebound straight back with no change in speed. What is the magnitude of the average force on Superman's chest from the stream of bullets?
