See, when you put four eggs together, and you place a rice cake on top,
then you drop a jar of jelly on them ( a little jar), they donīt break. In
fact, the rice cake doesnīt crush either. But if you just take the rice
cake off the eggs and drop the jar on them, they do break. Why is that?
Does it have anything to do with potential and kinetic energy?
