Question
When a .22-caliber rifle is fired, the expanding gas from the burning gunpowder creates a pressure behind the bullet. This pressure
causes the force that pushes the bullet through the barrel. Suppose the barrel has a length of 0.699 m and an opening whose radius is
2.65 x 10³ m. A bullet (mass=2.6 x 10³ kg) has a speed of 428 m/s after passing through this barrel. Ignore friction and determine the
average pressure of the expanding gas.
