So, I red the MCU Kurse boulder throwing thread and from there, the SB calc pages for the MCU. Here are some things I got that I think would be of use.
> Tony Stark tells Yinsen about his mini arc reactor that he built in a cave. (IM 1)
"If my math is right - and it always is - [it generates three gigajoules per second."]
3 gigajoules = 0.72 tons = Building level Mk. I reactor
> Mk.IV armor can fly at Mach 2, lift a maximum of 3 tons, its reactor can produce 8 gigajoules per second and the repulsor ray can disintegrate most metals.
8 gigajoules = 1.91 tons = Building level+ Mk. IV reactor
Metal disintegration = ??? (Maybe we can use the most typically used metals for the military vehicles maybe for this?)
> Thor dodging Hulk's throwing a jet wing at him. (Avengers 1)
Is that calcable? Or does it fall under cinematic timing?
> Thor's throwing Mjolnir at Iron Man, sending him through a tree.
SB user Gojirason eyeballs that Tony's 300kg mass went from 0-20m/s when he was hit by the thrown hammer with an area of roughly 0.02m^2, would be at minimum, several tens of tons of force.
> Kurse's rock throw (Gojirason's calc)
For a 70m/s launch, Kurse would have needed to generate an average acceleration of 2,450 m/s^2 (250 g) in less than 3 hundredths of a second, with a force of 245,000,000 N (25,000 tons), and imparting 245,000,000 joules of kinetic energy to the boulder.
For a 30m/s launch, Kurse would have needed to generate an average acceleration of 450 m/s^2 (>46 g) in 1/15th of a second, with a force of 45,000,000 N (4,592 tons) and imparting that many joules of kinetic energy to the boulder.
In comparison to the form of the throw, when Hafthor Bjornsson broke the world record for the washing machine throw, he would have achieved an average acceleration of ~15.7m/s^2 to launch it at 5.62m/s, requiring an average force over the course of 0.36s of 711.2 N, or ~72.6 kg, compared to the washing machine's 45.3 kg weight. These average forces fall well short of the peak forces, as acceleration is much greater the earlier stages of the throw and the uncoiling of the arm, explaining the relatively low force figues here, but that should apply to Kurse too.

Everything else in the thread went flying over my head spectacularly. Thoughts? What do we make of these?
