- A 40.0-g projectile is launched by the expansion of hot gas in an arrangement shown in Figure P12.4a. The cross sectional area of the launch tube is 1.0 cm2, and the length that the projectile travels down the tube after starting from rest is 52 cm. As the gas expands, the pressure varies as shown in Figure P12.4b. The values for the initial pressure and volume are P1 = 11 105 Pa and Vi = 8.0 cm3 while the final values are Pf = 1.0 105 Pa and Vf = 8.0 cm3. Friction between the projectile and the launch tube is negligible, (a) If the projectile is launched into a vacuum, what is the speed of the projectile as it leaves the launch tube? (b) If instead the projectile is launched into air at a pressure of 1.0 105 Pa. what fraction of the work done by the expanding gas in the tube is spent by the projectile pushing air out of the way as it proceeds down tile tube?arrow_forwardA cylinder with a piston holds 0.50 m3 of oxygen at an absolute pressure of 4.0 atm. The piston is pulled outward, increasing the volume of the gas until the pressure drops to 1.0 atm. If the temperature stays constant, what new volume does the gas occupy? (a) 1.0 m3 (b) 1.5 m3 (c) 2.0 m3 (d) 0.12 m3 (e) 2.5 m3arrow_forwardThe rectangular plate shown in Figure P16.60 has an area Ai equal to w.
