Answer:

C. the time interval for stopping is greater.

Explanation:

As the egg falls onto the grass, it takes a a greater amount of time for it to stop, and thus the force that is being applied to it is in increments; there is never enough force applied on the egg for it to break. That's why the egg doesn't break when it lands on the grass.

In contrast, when the egg is dropped on the road, <em>all of the force that is being applied by the road on the egg is in the tiny interval when the egg touches the road</em>, That force is large enough to break the egg because it is being applied in a tiny amount of time. That's why the egg dropped on the road breaks.

<em>So here is the rule of thumb: if you don't want to break your things but still want to drop them, drop them such that it takes  some for them to stop—because force will applied to them gradually. </em>

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which law is that
lutik1710 [3]

These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. So... Newton's third law would be the correct answer.

The dimensions of aluminum foil in a box for sale in super markets are 66 2/3 yards by 12 inches. the mass of the foil is 0.83 k
disa [49]

Length of the sheet is given as

L = \frac{200}{3} yards = 6096 cm

width of the sheet is given as

w = 12 inches = 30.48 cm

now let say its thickness is "t"

so the volume of the sheet is given as

V = L*w*t

V = 6096*30.48* t

V = 185806.08*t cm^3

mass of the sheet is given as

m = 0.83 kg = 830 gram

now we have

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

2.70 = \frac{830}{185806.08*t}

by solving above we have

t = 1.65 * 10^{-3} cm

so the thickness of sheet will be above

The Sun's declination is 0° at the _________. A. summer and winter solstice B. summer and winter equinox C. vernal and autumnal
Olegator [25]

-- "Declination zero" means the object is in the sky at some point directly over the Earth's equator.  

-- If it's the sun and it appears to be over the equator, then that tells us that the Earth's axis is not tilted toward or away from it.  

-- That in turn tells us that the Earth is at one of the two equinoxes in its orbit, either the Spring one or the Autumn one. <em> (D)</em>

-- (The first days of Summer and Winter coincide with solstices, not equinoxes.)
