1. During the Egg-Throwing Demonstration, which egg experienced the greater impulse, the egg that hit the wall or the bed sheet? (Be careful here!) Which egg experienced the greater force of impact? Which egg experienced the greater time of impact?
2. The Law of Conservation of Energy states: that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can be transformed from one form to another but the total amount of energy never changes. Car crashes can involve huge amounts of energy. How does the crashworthiness of the car affect the transfer and transformations of the energy and, ultimately, protect the occupants?
