An investigation of the effect of the muzzle on the motion of the projectile in a recoilless gun

Expressions for the position and velocity of a projectile at any time in a recoilless gun are derived. The one dimensional wave equation is assumed to be valid in describing the motion of the gas. The muzzle velocity of the projectile is calculated, and compared with that obtained for the case in wh...
