Why would you want to use cushioning substrates for an egg drop? To prevent the egg from breaking
When is the sum of forces used? When comparing the forces involved in a collision - unbalanced forces will cause force changes.

What is an example of a collision? Any set of objects interacting (book hits floor, ball hits backboard, person 1 pushes person 2, walking, tapping a cane, etc.)

Is this example one that highlights force distribution or variables? EXAMPLE: THE MASS OF SNOW PILED UP ON A ROOFTOP force distribution
Is this example one that highlights balanced or unbalanced forces? EXAMPLE: 5 NEWTONS OF FORCE ARE APPLIED TO THE SCALE AND IT MOVES DOWNWARD unbalanced force
