Three swimmers can swim equally fast relative to the water. They have a race to see who can swim across a flowing river in the l

east time. Swimmer A swims perpendicular to the current and lands on the opposite shore downstream, because the current has swept him in that direction. Swimmer B swims upstream at angle to the current, so that when she reaches the other side, she is straight across from where she started. Swimmer C swims downstream at an angle theta in an attempt to take advantage of the current. Who crosses the river in the least time?

A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg droppedon the road usually breaks while one dropped on the grass usuallydoes
Fed [463]

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>
