The movie Star Wars<span> is a space
opera interstellar epic which uses science and technology in its settings and storylines, although its main
focus is not necessarily on science.</span>
Many
elements in the films appear to defy simple laws of physics.<span>
One of which is the falling of spaceships when they are hit by a laser beam.
Experts said, this is one good example because without gravity in space, ships
should travel in the direction of the impact instead of dropping like a stone.</span>

Answer:
<em>18808.7 m/s^2</em>
Explanation:
Given
Length of the pendulum L = 1.44 m
Number of complete cycles of oscillation n = 1.10 x 10^2
total time of oscillation t = 2.00 x 10^2 s
The period of the T = n/t
T = (1.10 x 10^2)/(2.00 x 10^2) = 0.55 ^-s
The period of a pendulum is gotten as
T = 
where g is the acceleration due to gravity
substituting values, we have
0.55 = 
0.0875 = 
squaring both sides of the equation, we have
7.656 x 10^-3 = 144/g
g = 144/(7.656 x 10^-3) = <em>18808.7 m/s^2</em>
Answer:
a)
0.245 m/s
b)
0.904 m
Explanation:
a)
= speed of duck ahead of wave
= speed of surface wave = 0.32 m/s
T = time for paddling = 1.6 s
d = spacing between the waves = 0.12 m
speed of duck ahead of wave is given as
= - 
= 0.32 - 
= 0.245 m/s
b)
= speed of wave behind the duck
speed of wave behind the duck is given as
= +
= 0.32 + 0.245
= 0.565 m/s
D = spacing between the crests
spacing between the crests is given as
D = T
D = (0.565) (1.6)
D = 0.904 m
The point with the greatest potential energy is B.
The potential energy of an object is depends on the relative distance between the object and the ground and its mass. The higher the object is from the ground the greater the potential energy posses.
Potential energy (P.E) = mgh
Where m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height from the ground to where the object is.
Since the mass and gravity is constant in this case, only the height will determine the point with the greatest P.E and that point is B.
