Question

take two eggs and drop them from a certain height such that one egg falls on a concrete floor and another egg falls on a cushioned pillow 1. which one is easily broken 2.in case less force was used? 3. what is the phenomenon involved in this?​

Answer 1

1. The egg that falls on a concrete floor is easily broken.
2. Less force was used, when the egg falls on a cushioned pillow.
3. The phenomenon involved in this case is "Newton's third law or the impulsive force"

Explanation:

• When an egg falls on a concrete floor, it is easily broken.
• Since a large force acts for a short period of time and a smaller force acts for a longer period time.
• Since the time of interaction is very short and the force becomes large, the egg breaks.
• Such a force is known as "impulsive force"
• The egg dropped on the floor stops very quickly, which means the force on the egg is large, so it breaks.
• The egg dropped on the pillow slows down and stops more slowly.
• Since the pillow is squishy, the force on the egg is smaller and the egg does not break.
