Because if you increase the surface area of such a fragile object there is more space and in turn more of a chance for the object (in this case the egg) to be damaged.
        
             
        
        
        
In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.  
But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.   
Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The answer is D, I just took the test
Explanation:
 
        
             
        
        
        
Explanation:
Newton's second law:
∑F = ma
277 N − 245 N = (25 kg) a
a = 1.28 m/s²
 
        
             
        
        
        
M is 3kg 
r is 2m 
v is 6m/s 
Fc = mv^2 / r 
Fc = (3x6^2)/2 =54
a = v^2/r 
a = 6^2 /2 = 18
