What will happen if you drop a glass on the floor?
This happens when you smash an old-fashioned mercury thermometre! The mercury spills out of the glass as it is a liquid and it also breaks up into spherical droplets at the edges, that will roll around on a hard floor and look just like ball-bearings. It does not appear to react with the floor or furniture.

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.
It is more likely that a glass will not be broken when it falls on a carpet but not when it falls on a marble floor Why?
A glass is more likely to survive a fall onto a carpet because the carpet provides a softer, more cushioned surface that absorbs some of the impact energy, reducing the force exerted on the glass. In contrast, a marble floor is hard and rigid, meaning that the energy from the fall is not absorbed as effectively, leading to a higher chance of the glass breaking upon impact. The cushioning effect of the carpet helps to dissipate the energy, protecting the glass from shattering.
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.
Why wouldn't a glass break when it fall to an carpeted floor verses and hardwood floor in terms of impact force and contact time?
A glass might be less likely to break on a carpeted floor compared to a hardwood floor because the carpet can absorb some of the impact force and provide a cushioning effect, increasing the contact time and reducing the pressure exerted on the glass. In contrast, a hardwood floor is harder and offers less give upon impact, increasing the likelihood of the glass breaking due to the higher pressure and shorter contact time.
Why concrete floor is separated by glass strips?
Concrete floors are often separated by glass strips to allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, preventing cracking. The glass strips also provide a visually appealing design element while maintaining a seamless appearance. Additionally, these strips can serve as joints that help manage stress within the concrete, enhancing durability and longevity.
