The only other equation I know is ((P1V1)^gamma)/T1=((P2V2)^gamma)/T2) this was provided by our professor because he said you have to account for the temp change but this still leaves me with too many unknowns.
Okay this helped alot... I can see that
This would allow me to find P2 and thus V2, V2-V1 would tell me the change to give me x
The part that I'm stuck on is how to find T2. I know that I have 102.2728 joules of energy creating the temperature change thus I would be tempted to use Q(heat...
Homework Statement
a bullet has mass=0.01kg velocity=150m/s, you have a cylinder with 5.0m^3 of air at STP with a piston at one end that has mass=0.1kg and surface area of 10cm^3 and is at rest. The bullet strikes and embeds itself into the piston.
The system is to be considered adiabatic after...
