In Part 1, when you compress the plunger all the way down, then release it, what happens? Why does this happen?
The pressure from the gas outside the plunger (in the room) pulls the plunger out.
The pressure inside the plunger is less than the pressure outside, so the plunger releases to equalize the pressure.
The compression of the gas produces a force that pushes the plunger back out.
When the plunger is compressed, potential energy is stored in the gas pressure. This is then released as kinetic energy to move the plunger back
