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.

How does Earth's rotation affect our view of stars
bonufazy [111]
Due to rotation of Earth on each day, our East & west gets change in every half day, and comes in it's initial state after a day. So, Stars which are in east relative to a stationary object in the Universe, will be in west relative to Earth after some time, and it changes our view of stars

Hope this helps!

A space probe on the surface of Mars sends a radio signal back to the Earth, a distance of 9.75 ✕ 107 km. Radio waves travel at
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

It takes 325 seconds for the signal to reach Earth.

Explanation:

First, you must make a unit change from m/s to km/s in order to make a comparison with the distance of the radio signal sent to Earth. For that, you know that 1 m is 0.001 km. So:

3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s} =3*10^{8}\frac{0.001 km}{s}=300,000\frac{km}{s}

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) , the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, the rule of three is applied as follows: if by definition of speed, 300,000 km of light are traveled in 1 second, 9.75 * 10⁷ km in how long are they traveled?

time=\frac{9.75*10^{7}km*1second }{300,000 km}

time=325 seconds

<em><u> It takes 325 seconds for the signal to reach Earth.</u></em>

To correct myopia (nearsightedness) requires ___________ lenses; to correct hyperopia (farsightedness) requires _____________ le
zysi [14]

By using concave lens, we can correct Myopia and Hyperopia can be corrected by convex lenses.

To find the answer, we need to know about Myopia and Hyperopia.

<h3>What is Myopia and Hyperopia?</h3>
  • Myopia is an optical defect, in which a person can see nearby objects clearly and cannot see far off objects clearly.
  • Here the eyeball becomes too longer, and the focal length of eye lens become too short.
  • It can be corrected by using concave lens.
  • For Hyperopia, the person can see far off objects clearly and cannot see nearby objects clearly.
  • This can be corrected by using convex lens.

Thus, we can conclude that, by using concave lens, we can correct Myopia and Hyperopia can be corrected by convex lenses.
