Question
Case one: egg thrown at velocity v at a wall that stands motionless with respect to the earth.Case two: egg thrown at velocity v at a sheet that is held by two people standing motionless to the earth.
Both: Initial state: the egg flying at top speed Final: v=0 in horizontal direction
Why does the egg break/or not break in either case? Explain your reasoning how you would prove your theory. Case one: egg thrown at velocity v at a wall that stands motionless with respect to the earth.

Explanation / Answer
during collision with wall which is inelastic hence more kinetic energy wasted in to restained energy(which is stored in egg after collision) which increase stress on the egg hence egg beaks
during collision with sheet which is elastic hence less of kinetic energy wasted in to restrained energy energy which give less stress on the egg hence egg doesn't beaks
