The photograph shows a man dropping an egg inside a padded box from a height - Edexcel - GCSE Physics - Question 6 - 2013 - Paper 1

To calculate the work done (W) on the egg, we use the formula:

$W = F imes d$

where:

• $F$ is the force (weight of the egg) = 0.6 N
• $d$ is the distance lifted = 20 m

Substituting the values, we have:

$W = 0.6 ext{ N} imes 20 ext{ m} = 12 ext{ J}$

Thus, the work done on the egg is 12 joules (J).

The momentum (p) of an object can be calculated using the formula:

$p = m imes v$

where:

• $m$ is the mass of the container = 0.5 kg
• $v$ is the velocity of the container = 18 m/s

Substituting the values, we find:

$p = 0.5 ext{ kg} imes 18 ext{ m/s} = 9 ext{ kg m/s}$

Therefore, the momentum of the container is 9 kg m/s.
