A shock absorbent mattress is built such that the boxspring
of the bed absorbs pressure that is exerted to the bed. Hence, if you jump on
the mattress, you would not bounce up and down as much as a normal mattress
because the springs do not oscillate much. This is done to endure wear and
tear.
<span> Newtons First Law is applied on my egg experiment because it will not move or change it's acceleration until a force acts upon it. In this case, one example of those forces would be Mr. Baker picking up the egg project. Newton's Second Law is applied because of the acceleration caused by natural forces as the egg is plummeting to the earth.</span>
As you approach the surface of the sphere very closely, the electric field should resemble more and more the electric field from an infinite plane of charge.
If you check Gauss's law (recalling that the field in the conductor is zero) you will see that if the surface charge density is σ=Q/4πR2, then indeed the field at the surface is σ/ϵ0 as in the infinite charge of plane case.
Such a field is constant, the field lines are parallel and non-diverging, and the infinities associated with the field due to point charge do not arise.
