Answer to Question #286249 in Physics for xdx

Question

Ellen made an egg safety device that has a mass of 125 g. Her homework was to drop the device at a certain height of 1.0 meter, 1.5 meters and 2.0 meters. Calculate the net force of the impact during the collision.

Answer 1

Taking into consideration that there is no other forces acting on the egg safety device other than the force of gravity, the net force is the same for all heights, being

$$F=mg=1.23\text{ N}.$$
