P= mass * velocity = mv
= 0.00745kg * 381 m/s
= 2.838kgm/s
Assuming that all the momentum is transferred to the T800,it will change the momentum of the T800 by a certain amount:we can call this Delta P(DP).We can then work out what velocity each bullet would normally impart,which will refer to as Delta V(DV).We need the wieght for T800,which is never stated.But it can ride a motorcycle fine-so we can estimate a weight of 200 Kg:
DV=DP/m
=2.838/200 …show more content…
Sarah Connor manages to knock the T1000 back a sizeable amount with single shotgun blasts in the final showdown at the steel mill.We dont need to perform any calculations to show this is implausible.For each shot Sarah Connor should feel the same momentum effects as the T1000 that is struck.While she has the benefit of being braced for the shot,its still unlikely the T1000 would be knocked through the air an entire meter,unless it weighed much much less than a human.This also happens in the first T800 Vs T1000 showdown,Where single shots from Arnie's shotgun throw the T1000 all over the place.Early in the film, a young jhon Connor is shown supporting himself by cracking ATM pin codes using an early portable computer which shows the premise for the technology is realistic.He appears to use a brute force attack,trying all possible PIN combinations.Each digit has ten possibilities,and there are four
