Mister Majestic punched Captain Atom 23 meters down a building. We will calculate Captain Atom’s durability in order to estimate Mister Majestic’s super strength.
NUMBER CRUNCHING
Since Captain Atom crash landed on Wildstorm Earth with no damage, he can survive planetary re-entry. And Captain Atom has a mass of 91 kg.
If we assume that Abomination’s re-entry is approximately from Earth low orbit, the altitude was around 2000 km. Let’s calculate the total energy from his kinetic energy and potential energy assuming it was re-entry on Earth. On Earth,
the re-entry speeds for aircrafts are 28163.52 meters per second.
ENERGY FROM RE-ENTRY
Total Energy = U = 1/2mv
2 + mgh = (0.5)(91 kg *
28163.522 m/s) + (91 kg
* 9.81 m/s2 * 4 * 12000000 m) = 78939945575 J.
Then, we can estimate Captain Atom’s durability from his re-entry by calculating the temperature he can withstand.
Abomination’s re-entry temperature = (78939945575 J)/(91 kg *4182 J kg °C) = 207429.920946 °C.
The Abomination’s impact force = (78939945575 J)/(12000000 m) = 6578.32879792 N.
TENSILE STRESS AND THERMAL STRESS
Below, the Abomination’s tensile stress is 0.1227967 psi but his thermal stress is 25624 Pascals.
In our calculations, we assumed that Captain Atom was roughly 1.94 m by 1 cm in dimensions, for an area of 7 m
2. Since Captain Atom’s body can withstand 25624 Pascals of thermal stress, that equals the force of Hulk’s punch.
ELASTIC COLLISION, KINETIC ENERGY, PROJECTILE MOTION AND POWER
In terms of energy and power we get the following:
Since it’s a partially elastic collision, some heat is lost to the surroundings. We computed the initial speed of Captain Atom’s launch from the speed of Mister Majestic’s punch. With 1.2 m of arm length and 199093.3552 N of force, the final speed of Mister Majestic’s punch is 72.4624990151 m/s.
Force = (25624 N/m
2)(7.7698 m
2) = 199093.3552 N.
Fd = change in K = (1/2m)(v
f^2 – v
0^2)
v
f = ((2Fd)/(m))^(0.5) = 72.4624990151 m/s.
From the Omni-Calculator, we found that v
0 for Captain Atom’s 91 kg body is 74.0551 m/s.
We use our equations of motion to find the time of the projectile from a 23 m height.
y0 = 1/2gt^2. 23 m = (0.5)(9.81)((t)^(2))
t = (23 m/(0.5)(9.81 m/s^2))^(0.5) = 2.16543131096 s.
Total Energy = PE + KE = 0.5mgh + 1mv
0^2 = Fd = 250575.681538 J.
Time of Majestic’s punch = (1.2 m)/(72.4624990151 m/s) = 0.01656029003 s.
Power of Mister Majestic’s punch = (250575.681538 J)/(0.01656029003 s) = 15131116.7307 W.
SUPER STRENGTH
Mister Majestic matched Abomination’s durability and generated 15131116.7307 W of power punching him down a 5-story building. In order to generate a projectile motion, Mister Majestic had to generate a Street-Level of Super Strength.
