Question

A student drops two eggs of equal mass simultaneously from the
same height. Egg A lands on the tile floor and breaks. Egg B
lands intact without bouncing, on a foam pad lying on the floor.
Compared to the magnitude of the impulse on egg A as it lands,
the magnitude of the impulse on egg B as it lands is

Answer 1

the magnitude of the impulse on egg B as it lands is the same

Answer 2

The magnitude of the impulse on egg B as it lands is the same as egg A since both have equal mass and lands with the same speed.

The impulse experienced by each egg is equal to the change in the momentum of the egg as it lands on the floor.

$J = \Delta mv$

where;

m is the mass of each egg

v is the velocity of each egg

The final velocity of each egg is the same since they are dropped from the same height.

Thus, the magnitude of the impulse on egg B as it lands is the same as egg A since both have equal mass and lands with the same speed.
