A person drops an egg onto a carpet, and the egg doesn't break. Then she drops the egg onto a tile floor and it breaks. Which floor most likely had a greater amount of force, and a shorter collision time?

The tile floor.

Explanation:

We can think of this as follows:

By the second Newton's law, we know that:

F = m*a

force is equal to mass times acceleration.

Now, as the egg hits the ground, we can think that there is a force that is applied in a very short period of time.

(similar to the case of a bat hitting a baseball)

Ok, the total energy of the impact will be the same for any surface in which the egg falls.

But suppose that the egg falls in a carpet, in this case, the carpet has a kinda large collision time (the time that the force is applied to the egg), this means that we will have a smaller force, acting for a long period of time. Now if the egg falls on something harder, like the tile floor, the collision time will be a lot shorter, then the force must be a lot stronger to compensate, this force is so large, that breaks the shell of the egg.

the tile floor is then the correct answer.

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !
