Hunting Math Problem

[azmike22]

I need a formula to a hunting problem. Say a 100000 gram tiger is headed toward me at 8.94 meters per second. I have a gun with a velocity of 715 meters per second and the bullets weigh 90 grams each. HOW MANY BULLETS WILL IT TAKE TO FELL THE BEAST?

How's your aim ?

Bullets required = FLOOR[ACOS(8.94/90) + 715*INT(90/100000) - 100000/(90^(1+8.94/715))]^(7-1-5).
Above assumes wind < 3.33333 mps.

One accurate head-shot should do it.


Of course, it depends on the distance to the tiger, doesn't it?

If it is less than one meter away . . . welcome to the food chain.
