A spaceship travels at an enormous speed to go from one star system to another. As it reaches its destination, its “hyperdrive” deactivates, bringing the ship to an immediate halt in orbit around a planet.

Accepted Answer

This situation defies the laws of physics because it has no physical basis to explain the immediate stoppage of the ship.Why does this situation defy physics?This situation defies the laws of physics because it describes an event in which an ship stops abruptly without any apparent physical explanation.From the above, it can be inferred that this does not have scientific support. Additionally, it is defying the laws of physics because, according to Newton's second law, every body in motion continues to move at a constant speed. Therefore, if the ship goes to a hypervelocity it must continue moving, by Newton's second law. Additionally, if there were a force such as friction or gravity that causes it to stop, this would not be immediately but progressively.Learn more about Laws of Physics in: https://brainly.com/question/27389083#SPJ1
