Captain American throws his shield straight down off a roof with a speed of 50 m/s . What is the acceleration of the shield half

way down to the ground?

<em>IF</em> this is happening on <u>Earth</u>, then the acceleration of gravity wherever the captain and the roof are is about 9.8 m/s² downward.

<em>IF</em> his shield is not affected by air resistance, and it's free to behave under the influence of gravity alone, then its acceleration is <em>9.8 m/s² downward</em>, from the moment it leaves his hand until the moment it hits a building, a tree, a car, a bus, an evildoer, or the ground.  

Whatever speed it has when it leaves his hand, in whatever direction, makes no difference.

Jasmine is diving off a 3-meter springboard. her height in meters above the water when she is x meters horizontally from the end
olganol [36]

Answer:

5.25 m

Explanation:

Given;

The height equation h;

h=-x^2+3x+3

Where;

h = the height above water

x = horizontal distance from the end of the board

The maximum height is at h' = 0, when change in h with respect to change in x is equal to zero.

differentiating the equation h.

dh/dx = h' = -2x + 3 = 0

Solving for x;

2x = 3

x = 3/2

Substituting into the function h;

h max = -x^2+3x+3

h max = -(3/2)^2 + 3(3/2) +3 = -9/4 +9/2 +3 = 9/4 + 3 =

h max = 21/4 = 5.25 m

how does the size of objects impact the pull of gravity between Earth and a baseball thrown into the air
Reil [10]
it's how much it weighs and how much force is pushing on it like a egg if i drop it the weigh can cause it to break and how much force the gravity is pushing on it.

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200
artcher [175]
We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3. 
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 |   / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2 
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| 
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1) 
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m 

So it's located in -.144m

Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
