Egg Drop Physics & Trivia

Front

What does momentum depend on?

Back

Momentum depends on mass and velocity.

Front

Which of these animals doesn't lay eggs?

Back

Zebras do not lay eggs; they are mammals.

Front

Calculate the momentum of a 10 kg dog travelling at 2 m/s.

Back

The momentum is 20 kg m/s (momentum = mass x velocity).

Front

How does an airbag protect a driver in a collision?

Back

An airbag increases the time over which the collision occurs, reducing the force.

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum = Mass x Velocity.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is the unit of momentum?

Back

The unit of momentum is kg m/s.

Front

What happens to momentum in a closed system?

Back

In a closed system, momentum is conserved.

Front

What is the role of gravity in egg drop physics?

Back

Gravity pulls the egg down, affecting its fall and impact.
