Why does a heavy stone nor break a glass place when place
slowly on it, while a small stone falling from a great
height easily breaks it ?
Answer Posted / ramu
The potential energy of the object falling from a very high position is much greater than the potential energy of the object at a lower position. Because of high potential energy, it exerts more kinetic energy which can give more strain beyond its threshold and hence thrust the glass easily.
