Intro: In my group we built a drone that is meant to protect an egg from shattering. The drone has 4 wings, one parachute to combat air resistance, a chamber to hold the egg, padding in and below the chamber. Our primary goal wasn’t only to keep the egg from breaking, but not having any type of damage inflicted on the shell.
Newton’s First Law: Anything at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon an with a greater unbalanced force and will stay in motion at constant a speed and direction until acted upon an unbalanced force. In my project I was the unbalanced: Picking the drone and dropping it off the balcony of heritage hall. Thankfully, we have the law of inertia because once the drone hit the floor it came to a complete stop

We can not change gravity so my group and I had to get creative on how to slow down the acceleration of the egg drop. We came up with the idea of a parachute and wings similar to a plane because the more area coverage slower the drone will fall. If the drone were to fall at an acceleration of 0.001 m/s(2) and the mass of 0.4125 it will release a force of 0.0004125.
Newton’s third law: For every action there is an opposite yet equal reaction. We dealt with this law when we dropped the drone from the balcony of heritage hall. We had to take in the fact that once we dropped the drone it will send the energy from the action of the drop towards the floor. While the floor will have an opposite reaction of sending the energy up towards the drone with the same equal force the drone released from the drop.
Momentum & Impulse: Momentum and Impulse are directly related the only difference is that Impulse is change in momentum. As time increased so did velocity and momentum and vice versa. Slowing down the drone’s mass to have a slower acceleration and therefore time decreasing the force that would've been released once the drone collided with the floor safely protecting the secure
Newton's first law of motion, states that anything that is in motion remains in motion until acted upon by an outside force, for example gravity. Also anything at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an outside force. This means that anything that is moving will keep moving until you or something else stops it and that anything lying still will remain still until you or something else makes it move. Before we launched the rocket , it was just sitting on the pump. It didn't move until we pulled the
With the styrofome cup fill it with enough water to put inside the solo cup weighing down the egg
In figure 1, the force of the gravity is pulling the person and the parachute towards the ground because gravitational force makes the object fall quickly. However, the parachute slows the person down because it causes air resistance as it pushes the parachute back up and creates an opposite gravitational force. The forces “push or a pull” are called action and reaction forces, the subject of newton’s third law. During this investigation, the push force is the air resistance and opposite (pull) force is the gravity.
It is time to take measurements and collect data. Take a ruler and measure the height of both eggs. The take a bit of yarn (enough to wrap around the eggs) and wrap the yarn around both eggs separately to get their individual circumferences. Then place both eggs on the grams scale individually to get their weights. Observe their color and shape to get some qualitative data. Rinse the beakers and fill both with 125 ml of water each. Place one egg in a beaker and place the other egg in the other beaker. Record the density by subtracting the current reading of water in the cup by the original amount of water in the beaker. To begin the experiment, remove the egg shells from the eggs. Take one beaker and fill it with 100 ml of vinegar. Take
We had to do an egg drop so when it is dropped from 20 ft it wouldn’t crack.. But I really didn’t have any background knowledge on egg drops because I never did one. But I did know that by putting a plate on the bottom it would make it float down and not fall. So when it was dropped from 20ft it wouldn’t crack.
This is the final step of the experiment. The shell-less egg was now placed into a new cup, but very carefully, as the egg was more fragile than when it was soaked in vinegar. The egg in the new cup was then covered with water. The egg sat in the water for a 24 hour time period once again. During this 24 hour time period the eggs appearance and size were once again recorded. After the time period had completed, the egg was removed from the water and was very carefully patted dry. Since the egg was now swollen, extra care was needed when holding the egg. The swollen egg was placed on the scale on last time and its mass was recorded as M3.
After the shell is finally gone, the egg will be placed in the salt-water solution. Since only water can move in and out of the egg, the semipermeable membrane allows for an “exploration for the concepts of diffusion and osmosis” (Ryczkowski 2014). If the solution is hypotonic, the egg’s mass (quantitative data) will increase because the water will pass from an area with high concentration (water), to an area with low concentration (egg). It is predicted that the egg will gain mass and look larger (qualitative data) because of
When it comes to finding the best drones and the best drones for kids, there are so many choices available it's extremely difficult to pick out just one that can be considered the best drone. It just makes sense to attempt to find the drone that is the best fit for what you need it to do. The best drones for kids are going to be the ones that can really take a beating and keep on flying. Durability is going to be a priority when shopping for drones for kids.
After a night at a really fun party, two friends decided to fly their small drone. Unfortunately, they decided to do this after having a little too much to drink. The guys had no idea the small drone would become a permanent fixture to their neighbors home for a couple of months. They had no idea how to get the drone done, until they purchased a new bigger drone.
An egg has a semi-permeable membrane, thus processes like osmosis could occur. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration to an area of a lower water concentration. Osmosis is important, especially for living organisms, as they help distribute nutrients in the body. An egg’s mass would change when it is soaked in different substances. The goal of this experiment was to investigate how an egg changes through osmosis. This experiment was done to show how substances affect the mass of an egg. To start off, an egg’s mass was measured by putting the egg in a beaker then placing it on a mass scale. The beaker was then filled with vinegar and left alone for twenty-four hours. After a day, the egg was taken
For my egg I took a piece of cardboard and cut it into a small square. Following that I cut three slits in the cardboard in the form of a smaller square. I then took small popsicle sticks and put them into the holes in the cardboard and then hot glued them to the cardboard. To lessen the impact I took rubber bands and attached them across the cardboard from the popsicle sticks. I also did the same on the top with the egg in between. I also slowed the fall by creating a parachute. To make the parachute I cut it out of a trash bag. After cutting the bag I cut six pieces of yarn at eighteen inches each. The I taped the yarn to the bag at even places on the bag followed by the same on the cardboard. When attaching the yarn
The egg shell completely disappears due to the vinegar reacting with the egg; bubbles form on the surface of the vinegar and on the egg because carbon dioxide was produced from
Okay drag is basically like when you throw a rock or anything and it’s attached to a balloon and or something that kinda floats and it goes down slower . Air resistance plays a massive point in dropping items because sometimes if the item that your dropping is big it might fall faster because the air doesn’t have enough power for the item. One way that I think will help the impact is to put rubber bands on all the sides and lift the roll cage for the egg a bit higher than the bottom of the machine so it won’t hit the
The use of drones is becoming an increasingly popular technology item. Initially developed and restricted to only military use, the advances in technology have suddenly made the public use of drones more accessible. Although, consumer version drones are not as sophisticated and complex as military drones, the principal remains relatively the same. In 2015, worldwide spending on drones was at $4 billion. This was set to more than triple in the next decade with military drone research spending estimated at $30 billion in the next 10 years. (Keller, 2015) The concept of drones is still relatively new to consumers, however they have been around for and used by the military for many decades already. This essay will describe the broad classifications of drones in service used by the military and the airpower task they are employed in. It will also discuss with examples their effectiveness and will evaluate whether the development of unmanned aviation in the 21st century is like the replay of development of manned heavier than air flight in the 20th century. Finally, it will describe the possible military and civilian task for drones in the future ahead.
I chose walking on eggs as my science experiment because it sounded interesting and fun. For my hypothesis I think that I will be able to stand on the eggs because from the research I have done I have learned that the shape of the egg and what the egg is held in effects the egg’s strength. I think for the experiment I might not be able to stand on the eggs at first due to the tricky instructions and how fragile eggs can be, but in the end
