An egg test dummy is fitted with a helmet and sealed in a plastic bag. The mass of
the egg, helmet, baggie, and paper clamp is 0.085 kg. The egg and its accessories
are attached to the swing and pulled back so that they are now 0.40 m above the
reference level. The egg is released and swings down to collide with the cement
block
a. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the egg and its accessories when it
is 0.40 m above the reference level.
b. Determine the kinetic energy of the egg and its accessories when it collides with
the cement block. Explain how this energy is transformed in the collision.
c. Calculate the speed of the egg and its accessories the moment just before impact.
