Thank you both for your replies,
I am a bit confused in one point, seeing as I am not throwing the egg with any initial speed the only force acting on the egg is gravity?
could i not say that mg=f(d)
this corresponds to the total work done?
and then i could solve for my force?
Homework Statement
the egg of mass 59g breaks from a height of approximately 0.35m and breaks
How much force does it take for the egg to break
We know the egg broke at exactly 0.35m and any height less then that it was not as effectively broken?
Homework Equations
eg = mgh
fg=mg...
