Little kids at Newton's preschool are always dropping their lunch boxes on the floor,
causing the boxes to either break or pop open and spill lunches everywhere. Mrs.
Suki wants to get a new mat to put on the floor under the preschooler's cubbies that

Mrs. Suki tested 2 different materials and this is what she found:

The bare floor causes the lunch box momentum to decrease to 0 in 3 seconds.
Material #1 causes the lunch box momentum to decrease to 0 in 1 second.
Material #2 causes the lunch box momentum to decrease to 0 in 2 seconds.
Write a recommendation to Mrs. Suki letting her know what you think she should do.
Your recommendation must include a comparison of the force exerted on the
lunchboxes when they hit each of the 3 surfaces.
