<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.

Answer:

T=2.08s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of Train V=3.0m.s

Angle \theta=12\textdegree

Height of window h_w=0.90m

Width of window w_w=2.0m

The Horizontal distance between B and A from Trigonometric Laws is mathematically given by

 b=\frac{0.9}{tan12}

 b=4.23

Therefore

Distance from A-A

 d_a=2.0+4.23

 d_a=6.23

Therefore

Time Required to travel trough d is mathematically given as

 T=\frac{d_a}{v}

 T=\frac{6.23}{3}

 T=2.08s

Answer:

B. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of an object increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, so the thermal energy of an object increases as its temperature increases.

Winds blowing toward the east are called easterlies.<br><br><br> True or False
eimsori [14]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from.  Hence, a wind that <em>"blows towards the east"</em>, logically should <u>come from the west </u>and is called a <em>"west wind"</em>.

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the <em>Westerlies</em>, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.
