Why might a wine glass survive a fall onto a
carpeted floor but not onto a concrete floor?
1. the decrease of momentum of the wine
glass in the carpet is less than that in the
concrete.
2. none of these
3. the decrease of velocity of the wine glass
in the carpet is less than that in the concrete.
4. the decrease of momentum of the wine
glass in the carpet is more than that in the
concrete.
5. since the carpet is softer than the concrete
and the force of impact is reduced by the
extended time of impact.
6. the decrease of velocity of the wine in the
carpet is more than that in the concrete.
