Total questions: 12
Worksheet time: 6mins
From which drop height did the small egg fracture (but not break) when dropped on 1 inch foam?
1 m
5 m
10 m
small eggs were safe on 1 inch foam at all heights
Which landing surface(s) caused the large egg to break entirely when dropped from 10m?
hard floor
1 inch foam
foam box
both the hard floor and 1 inch foam
Which height proved to be the most devastating to the egg regardless of the surface?
1 meter
5 meters
10 meters
height did not affect the fate of the egg
Under which conditions did an egg experience the greatest force?
small egg dropped from 1m onto a foam box
large egg dropped from 5m onto 1 inch foam
jumbo egg dropped from 10m onto 1 inch foam
jumbo egg dropped from 10 m onto the hard floor
What data was given after each drop that determined the force of impact on the egg?
the acceleration of the egg
the velocity of the egg
the change in velocity and time of impact
none of these
Did the mass of the egg factor into the force it experienced upon hitting a surface?
Yes
No
Not enough info is provided in this simulation
T / F The larger the mass of the egg, the greater thee impact force.
True
False
Which of these would increase the impact force the egg experiences?
increasing the mass of the egg
an increase in the change in velocity of the egg
decreasing the time of impact
all of these are true
Which surface in general was the most safe for the egg?
foam box
1 inch foam
hard floor
the surface did not impact the fate of the egg
Of the three landing surfaces, why is the foam box the safest?
it causes the greatest change in velocity upon collision
it causes the shortest impact time upon collision
it causes the greatest force upon collision
it causes the longest impact time upon collision
The shorter the impact time the ....
larger the impact force
smaller the impact force
greater the change in momentum
smaller the change in momentum
The longer the impact time, the ...
greater the change in momentum
stronger the impact force
smaller the change in momentum
the weaker the impact force
