21.

A man hits a pie pan with an egg sitting on top of a toilet paper roll and the egg fell straigt into the cup of water beneath it. Which one of these best explains why the egg fell straight down into the cup instead of staying on the toilet paper roll and pie pan?

a)

Moving the pie pan and toilet paper roll applied an action force to the egg. Since the pie pan was gon, gravity applied a reaction to the egg.

b)

The egg was at rest until the pie pan and toilet paper roll were removed, so it remained at rest in the same location. Once the pie pan was gone, the unbalanced force of gravity caused the egg to fall.

c)

The pie pan and toilet paper roll had less mass than the egg, so a smaller force of gravity acted on the pie pan and toilet paper roll. The larger force of gravity on the egg made it fall.

d)

The acceleration of the egg falling into the cup was equal and opposite to the acceleration of the pie pan and toilet paper roll.
