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.

A steel wire of length 4.7 m and cross section 3 x 103 m2 stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length 3.5 m and cros
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The ratio of the young's modulus of steel and copper is 1.79\times10^{-2}

(c) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of steel wire = 4.7 m

Cross sectionA = 3\times10^{-3}\ m^2

Length of copper wire = 3.5 m

Cross sectionA = 4\times10^{-5}\ m^2

We need to calculate the ratio of young's modulus of steel and copper

Using formula of young's modulus for steel wire

Y=\dfrac{\dfrac{F}{A}}{\dfrac{\Delta l}{l}}

Y_{s}=\dfrac{Fl_{s}}{A_{s}\Delta l}....(I)

The young's modulus for copper wire

Y_{c}=\dfrac{Fl_{c}}{A_{c}\Delta l}....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

The ratio of the young's modulus of steel and copper

\dfrac{Y_{s}}{Y_{c}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Fl_{s}}{A_{s}\Delta l}}{\dfrac{Fl_{c}}{A_{c}\Delta l}}

\dfrac{Y_{s}}{Y_{c}}=\dfrac{A_{c}\times l_{s}}{A_{s}\times l_{c}}

\dfrac{Y_{s}}{Y_{c}}=\dfrac{4\times10^{-5}\times4.7}{3\times10^{-3}\times3.5}

\dfrac{Y_{s}}{Y_{c}}=1.79\times10^{-2}

Hence, The ratio of the young's modulus of steel and copper is 1.79\times10^{-2}
