1) Which combination of the following options is most accurate? [Enter your answer as a string of the letter options you believe are correct. For instance, if you think options A, D, and E are correct, then enter "ADE"]

A) The total amount of impulse exerted on the egg is the reason the egg broke.
B) Making the egg's impact with the floor take longer would not change to total impulse exerted by the floor.
C) Doubling both the height of the counter and the time interval of the impact would not change the average force experienced by the egg.
D) The force from the floor on the egg is the only one that determines the total impulse on the egg during impact.
E) None of the above

Explanation / Answer

here two forces are acting

one is weight of the egg and force exerted by the earth

so average force is acting upwards only

impulse = f avg*time taken = change in momentum

so total impulse exerted on the egg is the reson the egg broke.

A
