A small canon projects a 200-gram bullet via a chemical process that causes a gas to rapidly expand behind the bullet, propelling the bullet forward. Assuming that the force the gas exerts on the bullet can be described by the equation F = (with appropriate SI units), where x is the x2 1000 position f the bullet: a. How much work will the gas do on the bullet in propelling it from/to the two points shown below? (15pts) b. Neglecting any sort of dissipative forces, what will be the speed of the bullet as it exits the canon? (10pts) Hint: To determine the work done, keep in mind that the force is changing with 'x'. x+, cm 0 0.2 6.0
