Context
In Amazing Spider-Man Issue 628, Captain Universe picks up a large slab of metal with Spider-Man on it and throws it across the Hudson River and straight into a Mountain. I will be calculating the Kinetic Energy of this feat.
Calc
Part 1: Volume of Metal Slab
Had a bit of trouble finding a shape that fit with this slab so I decided to just calc it using three rectangular prisms and find an overall volume. I will also assume it's steel for weight.
Spider-Man Height: 196 pixels (1.78 metres)
Bottom Length: 49 pixels (0.445 metres)
Half Spider-Man Height: 362 pixels (0.89 metres)
Top Length: 638 pixels (1.5685635359116024 metres)
Height of Spider-Man: 341 pixels (1.78 metres)
Top Height: 648 pixels (3.3825219941348976 metres)
Top Width Orange Line: 80 pixels (0.41759530791788857 metres)
Top Volume: 2215635.70059019979 ccm
Bottom Height: 388 pixels (2.0253372434017596 metres)
Bottom Width: 118 pixels (0.6159530791788856 metres)
Bottom Length: As shown at the start 0.445 metres
Bottom Volume: 555143.156594799948 ccm
Overall Volume: 2770778.8571849996 ccm
Density of Steel: 0.00785 Kj/ccm
Weight: 21750.614028902244 Kg
Kinetic Energy
Distance from New York to the Jersey Palisades: 37.33678 Kilometres
Time: 2 Minutes seems like a reasonable time-frame
Speed: 311.14 m/s
Kinetic Energy: 1052817804.6356 Joules
How Much Energy did Spider-Man Tank
Spider-Man Cross Section Area: 0.965 m2
Metal Cross Section Area: 3.4376 m2
Ratio: 0.965 / 2.991 = 0.3226345703778
1052817804.6356 * 0.3226345703778 = 339675420.0847054 Joules or 0.081184373825216399334 Tons of TNT
Small Building
Spider-Man was completely fine after this so he should upscale from this.
