Yes I *do* know the laws of gravity. Acceleration due to gravity is a constant 10ish meters per second per second. What would slow the jar down would be air drag. As the jar is the same shape regardless of whether it is full or empty it would fall at the same rate. Galilleo worked this out quite some time ago.

A full bottle (or jar) would be heavier and would therefore hit the ground with more force. I'd imagine it would be break more easily when full.

With jam. Because it will be heavier and will have higher speed near floor
I crushed blueberries in a processor. This created a thick pulpy mixtures. Can this thick juice still be made into jelly?

You're reading Would a bottle be easier to break if it was empty or full of jam? (if it fell on the floor)

sorry, i wasn't clear. I meant to ask which is more breakable under the same impact.
