While decorating, your friend drops a holiday ornament. (Oh no!) Explain using the concepts of impulse and momentum why the ornament is more likely to survive the collision with the ground if it is dropped from a low heigh than it would be from a higher height. (Note: Less force on the ornament would be safer. Assume the time of the collision is the same in both cases.) Include a momentum bar chart for each case along with your reasoning. Your system for the bar charts should be only the ornament, and the scale of your two bar charts should be consistent.
