When a glass fall down it collides with ground and exerts a force on it. The ground then applies equal and opposite force on glass due to which the glass breaks down in pieces.

The force exerted by the earth on the glass's bottom side combined with the weight of the "top" of the glass pressing down on the remaining glass results in an internal tension that breaks the glass.
- The very same force that flattens out a rubber ball also forces it to rebound back into its former shape, thus causes it to fly upward.
- Every action has an equal and opposite response, as per Newton's third rule of motion.
- According to this assertion, when a glass hits the ground, it exerts some force on the ground and the ground responds by exerting a similar amount of force on the glass in the opposite direction.
- Therefore, the floor's response force will not be able to break the glass material.
- The glass will then start shattering. Because of its hard surface, the floor cannot be used as a flexible agents to measure the force applied by the glass.
