Hello, I'm currently doing a project on a Verne gun, and I'd just like to know which equations I should know in order to explain such a device. How do i calculate velocity, efficiency of the launch, how the gas laws play into the efficiency, since it should be traveling at 10s of kilometers a second what effect does that have on the air in front of the payload, since nuclear weapons will be used how much of the payload can I expect to vaporize, those sorts of things. I've been researching for a while now, and can't seem to find anything.
