Using only the spring gun with the catcher removed, fire the steel ball, making sure the launch velocity is horizontal. Using carbon paper (and something to catch the ball after impact with the floor), determine the ball’s horizontal range and its total vertical displacement (i.e., height at point of firing). Repeat several times in order to obtain statistical data.

Derive a formula in symbolic form for the initial velocity of the projectile in terms of the following three quantities only: the horizontal range (x), the vertical height at launch (y) and the acceleration due to gravity (g). Finally, determine the initial velocity of the steel ball and refer to this velocity as v1 .

Need help deriving the equation (italics). Please show all intermediate derivations too (i.e. how to come to horizontal range (x) = v1*t). Thank you!

Suppose that 132 moles of a monatomic ideal gas is initially contained in a piston with a volume of 0.94 m3at a temperature of 348 K. The piston is connected to a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1064 K and a cold reservoir with a temperature of 348 K. The gas undergoes a quasi-static Stirling cycle with the following steps:

  1. The temperature of the gas is increased to 1064 K while maintaining a constant volume.
  2. The volume of the gas is increased to 3.38 m3 while maintaining a constant temperature.
  3. The temperature of the gas is decreased to 348 K while maintaining a constant volume.
  4. The volume of the gas is decreased to 0.94 m3 while maintaining a constant temperature.

It may help you to recall that CV = 12.47 J/K/mole for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to Avagadros number (6.022
