In terms of impulse and conservation of momentum, explain why a glass is much more likely to break if it falls onto a cement floor than if it falls on to a carpeted floor.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Glass is much more likely to break on the cement floor compared to the carpeted floor. In case of cement change in velocity occurs at a faster rate compared to the carpeted floor, so deceleration is more on the cemented floor.

As the Carpeted floor is not rigid so it takes more time to stop the glass that is why chances of breaking are less on the carpeted floor.
