But , the egg dropped onto the cushion pillow does not break . Can you explain why ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Egg dropped on concrete : A largeforce acting for a short period of time and a SMALLER force acting for a longerperiod time .
Egg dropped on CUSHION pillow : A smaller force acting for a longerperiod .
(ii) In this activity for the egg dropped to a cushion pillow , the time of interaction of forceis large and makesthe magnitude of force small.
(iii) So , it does not break . When the same egg is dropped ontoa concrete FLOOR , the time of interaction is very short and hencethe force becomeslarge , which breaks the egg .
(IV) Such a forceis known as " IMPULSIVE force " .
