In 1 second, a bio-ship destroys a Borg cube. By radius:
     To get an explosion with a total destruction radius of 50 feet, you need 100 lb (45 kg) of TNT. [1] That's 188280000 joules. Unless that's the cube's reactor blowing up, it's impossible.
Rating: 7/10

By destruction: I'll assume the Borg cube is made of carbon steel, but is mostly hollow. This would require about 1372000000 joules to melt. Note that this is conservative as the cube probably weighs more than 518 kg.

By KE: Assuming as before that the cube weighs 518 kg (a ridiculously low figure) to accelerate it to 200 ft/s (60.96 m/s) would take around 962 kilojoules, or about 0.23 kgTNT. Totally possible, but remember that this is a minimum, and that vaporization was also a factor.
