You and your younger brother are designing an air rifle that will shoot a lead pellet with mass m = 1.00 g and cross-sectional area a = 0.0450 cm2. the rifle works by allowing high-pressure air to expand, propelling the pellet down the rifle barrel. because this process happens very quickly, no appreciable thermal conduction occurs and the expansion is essentially adiabatic. your design is such that, once the pressure begins pushing on the pellet, it moves a distance of l = 45.0 cm before leaving the open end of the rifle at your desired speed of v = 140 m/s. your design also includes a chamber of volume v = 15.0 cm3 in which the high-pressure air is stored until it is released. your brother reminds you that you need to purchase a pump to pressurize the chamber. to determine what kind of pump to buy, you need to find what the pressure of the air must be in the chamber (in pa) to achieve your desired muzzle speed. ignore the effects of the air in front of the bullet and friction with the inside walls of the barrel. (assume that air is diatomic.)

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?
