Answer
To understand this concept it is necessary to understand Newton's Second Law
According to Newtons Second law applied force is equal to rate of change of momentum of a body.
Mathematically,

here,
is rate of change of momentum with respect to time
It means If two eggs fall from same height,one on softer surface and other on hard surface that time the momentum of both eggs will remain equal at both the surfaces. But, impact time will be different. On hard surface egg will stop almost instantly so impact time will be small and hence the force on egg will be large therefore the egg will breakup.
On the other hand on the soft surface like a cotton, egg will not stop instantly but it will slow down for a few seconds and then stop due to which the time of impact will increase. Therefore the force on egg will be less and it won't break up.
Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
F = ma
If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part
A spherical cavity is hollowed out of the interior of a neutral conducting sphere. At the center of the cavity is a point charge, of positive charge q.
answer:
- q
Explanation:
Since the spherical cavity was carved out of a neutral conducting sphere hence the electric field inside this conductor = zero
given that there is a point charge +q at the center of the spherical cavity hence for the electric field inside the conductor to be = zero the total surface charge qint on the wall of the cavity will be -q
Friction- the external force that acts on objects and causes them to slow down when no other external force acts upon them.
