Question

If you throw a raw egg at the wall, you’ll break the egg. But if you throw with the same speed into a sagging bed sheet, it won’t break. Why?

-The sheet is much “slicker” than the wall.
-The impact time when the egg strikes the sagging sheet is long so the impact force is small.
-The velocity of the egg decreases faster in the sheet than on the wall.
-The breaking egg caused a larger impact time, decreasing the force.

Answer 1

Answer: The breaking egg caused a larger impact time, decreasing the force.

Explanation: In the new generation, cars are made the way they are to prevent a quick stop, forcing the people inside from having too much of a force toward the car. Like an egg, when it hit the cover, all of the force is absorbed by the sheet, When it hits the wall, the automatic force causes the egg to come to an instant stop , which the velocity it was thrown with, also hits the egg causing tthe pressure to be too much for the egg to handle ,leadingto the egg cracking.

Answer 2

The breaking egg caused a larger impact time, decreasing the force.
