(b) (c) From the graph, estimate the total change in momentum experienced by the projectile, due to the compressed gas. The speed of the projectile changes from zero to 270 m s-¹ as it leaves the barrel. What is the change in momentum of the projectile? (d) Compare your answers in (b) and (c) and suggest a possible reason for the difference.

Question

Could you please help with part b? i am unsure as to how to get the average force

[N94/2/1]
A projectile of mass 3.2 x 10-2 kg is fired from a cylindrical barrel of cross-sectional area
2.8 x 10-4 m² by means of compressed air. The variation with time of the excess pressure p of
the gas in the barrel above atmospheric pressure is shown in the figure below.
