when the hammerhead corvette rammed the star destroyer into the shield gate
the star destroy would've crtashed into the planet with enough force to destroy at least the base

assuming the planet has the same gravity as earth and that a

star destroyer weighs 9484425000000 kilograms
density of air is 1.225 kg/m3
acceleration due to gravity is 9.81
surface area of the bottom of the star destroyer is roughly 201911000/2.4 (assuming its falling flat down and not from the nose)

being generous a friction coefficient of 1.9 if it's falling on it's belly



so then we get the terminal velocity of the death star falling on it's belly

V=sqrt(2mg/PAC)

so at terminal velocity it would be travelling 975 meters per second



okay then we want the kinetic energy at terminal velocity which is Ek=1/2*m*v^2


so we get a Kinetic energy of 4.5x10^18 joules which is equivalent to 1000 nuclear bombs going off

ramming a ship into a planet at near relativistic speeds (or even way less, think asteroids) would have the same effect as a death star

obviously the ship would break up upon entry, but it would be too late by then

did you actually know all of this information yourself or did you look up the calculations

because I remember learning a similar process in chemistry with force, pressure, and volume/surface area

i just did some simple terminal velocity and kinetic energy calculations, I assumed some of the values

so you knew the calculations in if you were to directly respond to my question

knew the calculations and how to solve for the next piece*

like i said I learned something similiar just not with kinetic energy and velocity

i had a real hard time grasping the concept in chemistry for whatever reason

the funny thing is, is that I am more of a linear learner.

i excel better in chemistry and algebra 2 than I would biology and geometry

physics I heard was hard so I'm stopping at after chemistry
