What conclusions about impulse can the students make?
Students perform an experiment in which they drop two
eggs with equal mass from a balcony. In the first trial, the
egg hits the ground and breaks. In the second trial, the
egg hits a foam cushion and does not break or bounce.
O The impulse was greater in the first experiment
because the egg broke.
O The impulse was greater in the second experiment
because the egg did not break.
O The impulse was the same in both experiments
because the egg came to a stop.
The impulse cannot be determined without the mass
and velocity of the eggs.
