Homework Statement
A 56.0 g egg falls 120.0 m from rest and hits a 5.00 cm thick foam pad. The egg does not break, but instead compresses the foam pad. It is 6.25 ms from the moment the egg hits the foam ad until all downward motion (falling) is stopped. Assuming there is a constant upward acceleration due to the compressing of the foam pad, how much is the pad compressed?
m= 56.0 g; delta y= 12 m; pad= 5.00 cm; delta t= 6.25 ms; a= -9.81 m/s2
Homework Equations
m1v1,i+m2v2,i=m1v1,f + m2v2,f; KE= 1/2mv2; F(delta t)= delta P
I really have no idea what to do in this case, and I need to get this equation done. It's the last one on my set. Please help!
