An egg and a tomato of equal mass are dropped from the roof of a three-story building
Question:
An egg and a tomato of equal mass are dropped from the roof of a three-story building onto the sidewalk below. The sidewalk imparts an impulse to both as they splatter.
(a) Is the impulse imparted to the egg greater than, less than, or equal to the impulse imparted to the tomato?
(b) Is the average force exerted on the egg greater than, less than, or equal to the force on the tomato?
Step by Step Answer:
This is a problem of conservation of energy and application of the impulse theorem No sketch needed ...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
