EGG AND SHEET


APPARATUS
sheet 202-14-D3
raw egg Missler's


DESCRIPTION
Have two people loosely hold the sheet vertically.  Throw an egg as hard as possible into the sheet.  It will not break, showing that for a given impulse a larger time of impact results in a smaller force.

 
NOTES
 
Hold the sheet loosely and let it sag in a "J"-shape so that when the egg slides down the sheet it doesn't fall to the floor.
