Question 2Two glass ornaments get knocked off of a table and fall (with similar speeds as they fall).One lands on a hard floor and breaks, and the other one lands on a thick rug and isundamaged. What physics concept best describes why this happens?Your answer:The one landing on the thick rug had a greater impulse.The one landing on the thick rug had a smaller impulse.The thick rug stops the object in a shorter amount of time.The thick rug stops the object in a longer amount of time.
