Question

Da Vinci is holding a fragile glass sphere above a solid concrete floor.He drops it but it doesn`t break.HOW?

Answer 1

if the sphere is full of water the sphere would be strong enough to withstand the blow. If you eliminate all the air in a bottle you can use it to hammer nails.

Answer 2

there's pillows atop the floor

Answer 3

1- He is standing in a swimming pool.

2- He is holding it one millimeter above the floor.

3- He is in outer space or other zero gravity condition.

4- The sphere walls are very thin, it is filled with helium and is lighter than air.

5- Same as # 4 except the sphere contains a vacuum instead of helium.

Answer 4

he sommuned satan to repare it before anyone saw but some did so he sent an unholy demon army to rape their souls!!!

Answer 5

Because concrete is harder than glass, so the glass would break and not he concrete.

Answer 6

its only a millimetre above the floor, no devils, no vacuum chamber no zero gravity, just common sense

Answer 7

he was in one of those one air chambers thats like in space so he lets go an it floats by his head or somtin lol O_o idk

Answer 8

Is it something to do with the glass sphere being perfectly spherical so the force applied in the impact is spread all over the surface of the sphere and dissipates. i.e. there are no surface imperfections to allow a fracture to take place?

Answer 9

it hit his foot before it hit the floor.

Answer 10

It (the sphere) doesn't break it (the concrete floor).

Answer 11

"Da vinci, is holding a fragile glass sphere, above a solid concrete floor. He drops it but it doesn`t break.HOW?"

Da Vinci is on a concrete floor, when the ball falls it doesn't hit the ground 'cuz it falls in the vacuum...

Answer 12

I beleive the sphere is not hallow. Mayby it's just a solid mass of glass.

Answer 13

Perhaps the concrete floor is underneath several layers of cushions.

Answer 14

this question is in the wrong section.scifi would be a better option.

Answer 15

It's hard to break concrete with glass.

Answer 16

well if u put a commer between ''sphere'' and ''above'' then that would work...

Answer 17

There's a thick carpet on the floor

Answer 18

He caught it.
