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>

First, let us derive our working equation. We all know that pressure is the force exerted on an area of space. In equation, that would be: P = F/A. From Newton's Law of Second Motion, force is equal to the product of mass and gravity: F = mg. So, we can substitute F to the first equation so that it becomes, P = mg/A. Now, pressure can also be determined as the force exerted by a fluid on an area. This fluid can be measure in terms of volume. Relating volume and mass, we use the parameter of density: ρ = m/V. Simplifying further in terms of height, Volume is the product of the cross-sectional area and the height. So, V = A*h. The working equation will then be derived to be:
P = ρgh
This type of pressure is called the hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid over a known height. Next, we find the literature data of the density of seawater. From studies, seawater has a density ranging from 1,020 to 1,030 kg/m³. Let's just use 1,020 kg/m³. Substituting the values and making sure that the units are consistent:
P = (1,020 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)(11 km)*(1,000 m/1km)
P = 110,068,200 Pa or 110.07 MPa
Answer:
v = 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s
Explanation:
The radius (r) of the circular orbit taken by a charged particle is related to its speed perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength B, and is given by
r = 
--------------(i)
Where,
q = charge of the particle
m = mass of the particle
Making v subject of the formula in equation (i) above gives
v = 
-------------------(ii)
Given;
r = 20cm = 0.2m
B = 0.3T
v = unknown
q = charge of proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
m = mass of the proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
Substitute the values of m, q, B and r into equation (ii) above to get;
v = 
Solving for v gives:
v = 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the proton is 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s
