In an egg-dropping contest, a student encases an 85-g egg in a large styrofoam block. if the force on the egg can’t exceed 28 n, and if the block hits the ground at 12 m/s, by how much must the styrofoam compress on impact? note: the acceleration associated with stopping the egg is so great that you can neglect gravity while the styrofoam block is slowing due to contact with the ground.

x=0.22m

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

We have the following data

m = 0.085kg

F = 28N

vi = 0m / s

vf = 12m / s

We need the acceleration that we can calculate from the following formula

F = m * a

a = F / m = 28N / 0.085kg

a = 329.41m / s2

According to the equation of the kinematics

We can clear x and thus get the answer.

x=0.22m

the answer is false

explanation:

prolly a beacuse the momentuem the car has increases while going down hill
