Two Japanese islands are connected by a long rail tunnel that extends horizontally underwater. Imagine a communication system in which a small rail car with a mass of 100.0 kg is launched by a type of cannon in order to transport messages between the two islands. Assume a rail car from one end of the tunnel has a speed of 4.50  102 m/s, which is just large enough for a constant frictional force of 188 N to cause the car to stop at the other end of the tunnel. How long does it take for the car to travel the length of the tunnel? What is the length of the tunnel?

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.

Adolphin emits ultrasound at 100khz and uses the timing of reflections to determine the position of objects in the water. part a what is the wavelength of this ultrasound? assume that temperature of water is 20 degrees c. answer in cm

Asailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5m/s2 for 4s. after the wind stops, the sailboat is traveling to the left with a velocity of 3.0m/s.assuming the acceleration from the wind is constant, what was the initial velocity of the sailboat before the gust of wind? answer using a coordinate system where rightward is positive.
