he fall of the rammer. After adding a fresh charge of powder,the rammer is again allowed to fall, again produces heat, explosion, and soforth, so that the driving is effected in a surprisingly short time. Percussion is also a source of heat. In firing shot at an iron target, asheet of flame is… … Fig. 452. The heat due to the impact of bodies is not difficult to calculate. When-ever a body moving with a velocity v is suddenly arrested in its motion, itskinetic energy is converted into heat. This holds equally whatever be thecause to which the motion is due : whether it be that acquired by a…
