Q)
(chatquestion)...30) A potato gun fires a potato horizontally down a half-
open cylinder of cross-sectional area A. When the gun
is fired, the potato slug is at rest, the volume between
the end of the cylinder and the potato is Vo, and the
pressure of the gas in this volume is 128P). The
atmospheric pressure is Po. The gas in the cylinder is
diatomic; this means that C, = 5R/2 and C, = 7R/2. The
potato moves down the cylinder quickly enough that
no heat is transferred to the gas. Friction between the
potato and the barrel is negligible and no gas leaks
around the potato. The parameters Po, Vo, and A are
fixed, but the overall length L of the barrel may be
varied. The maximum kinetic energy Emax with which
the potato can exit the barrel is
open
