A glass dropped on the floor is more likely to break if the floor is concrete than if it is wood why?
A glass dropped on a concrete floor is more likely to break than if it was dropped on a wood floor because the concrete has no bend to it. A wood floor might help absorb some of the impact by bending slightly when the glass hit it.
Why is a falling glass less likely to break on carpet?
It is the force exerted within the glass when it hits the floor that breaks it. If the glass falls on a hard floor like concrete then the force is very big because the floor has no "give." Effectively the bit of the glass that hits the floor stops instantly but the rest of the glass following behind is still moving. The force within the glass is bigger than the tensile strength of the material and so it fails. If the glass falls on a carpet then the carpet has some "give." The glass slows down over a few millimeters by squashing the carpet. This massively reduces the forces within the glass and gives it a fighting chance of staying in one piece.
