[citation][nom]septagent[/nom]Try again. Weight or mass have nothing do with how fast the device falls, but everything to do with how hard it hits when it gets to the bottom. Momentum is very dependent on mass, and momentum dictates how much the back of the device doesn't want to stop before it hits the front of the device. All three of those tabs are made of roughly the same material (at least on the screen), but the galaxy tab has more supporting material in a smaller amount of space (it's thick). I think that's really why it cracked less. It's stronger in proportion.[/citation]
Nope, they might all fall with the same rate relatively, but they will not all fall with the same force. Therefore the force exerted on the glass will be highest in the object that has the greatest mass. F=ma , now, assuming they are all made up of the same components for the most part, unless, they are built with shock absorbers which I doubt, cause, it would have to be a much thcker device, then, the tab which had the greatest mass should have had the greatest damage, and the one with the least mass should have had the least damage. And that's exactly how this played out. I would say it's not the supporting the material, as these tabs seem to have little support at all, I would say it was the mass. Does Galaxy Tab use Guerilla glass??? This might be the case which would explain the less cracking as that glass can take up 5x more stress than regular glass of the same thickness.
