If you threw an egg against a wall, the egg would clearly break. But, if the wall was replaced with a sheet, it would most likely survive. Assuming you threw it at the same speed. Why?
The object experiences the force in less time compared to hitting a wall. The objects velocity also doesn't change rapidly, but slow-lying in a less time, giving it less force to stop it.
The object would not experience either way because you would hit it with the same force.

If Δt decreases, FNET increases
Yes
No
