The hammer barely touched the light bulb but because of the large force applied to the very edge of the glass caused it to shatter on contact. The hard outer shell of glass was altered just enough to basically cause a ripple effect across the outer shell of glass causing cracks and brakes to form all over the glass. You can tell whoever was swinging at the bulb had missed his/her mark; you can see this because of the direction of the debris which all travel to the left flying off the screen. EM
The hammer's overwhelmingly larger force caused the lightbulb to shatter the way it did. In addition to this, after the hammer came into contact with the bulb, a chain reaction, similar to an earthquake occurred. This happened because of the weakness of the shell of the lightbulb.
This is physics because when the hammer strikes the lightbulb it causes it to explode due to the hammers greater force. The hammers force strikes down on the lightbulb and the lightbulb has no where to release all of the hammers energy causing the lightbulb to explode.
When glass it hit by a force it spreads out the impact usually causing that piece of glass to completely shatter. In this example, the hammer barely hits the end of the bulb but the whole bulb breaks almost instantly. This shows a shockwave in action.
The extraordinary mass of the hammer compared to the modest mass of the lightbulb made it very easy to break. The entire bulb shattered almost instantly, despite the fact that it was tapped towards the end of the bulb. The mass of the hammer was so great it this case, that it sent a chain reaction, cracking the glass despite a more modest force. This was enough to send shards of glass flying. -Charlie
The light bulb brakes because it is very brittle and when you hit the hammer with a greater force then the glass can handle. It broke because the glass can absorb the forcer that the hammer is putting out. The glass try’s to absorb the force but cant so the glass breaks into a lot of pieces. QF
The hammer had a great force pushing down on it so when it made contact with the frail light bulb it shattered. The light bulb material cannot absorb much impact due too what its made out of. When the hammer hit the light-bulb the force impacted the whole light bulb the force spread throughout it and forces the glass to go in all directions. Reed
The force of the hammer shattered the lightbulb due to the bulbs weak structure. It could not hold against the force of the hammer. The bulb shattered due to the composition of the light bulb. Simple as that Colin
