Egg Drop Challenge

The science behind this project is conservation of momentum, conservation of energy, force time trade off, and Newton’s first, second, and third laws. These can be used to ensure the eggs safety before, during, and after the egg is dropped. When dropped there are many forces that act upon the egg, some of these are gravity, speed, velocity, and acceleration. When the project is built it is important that this is taken into account. If the science behind all of it is used properly the egg should not break when it hits the ground.

With the styrofome cup fill it with enough water to put inside the solo cup weighing down the egg

For this project, I made a capsule for an egg that is to be dropped from about twenty feet. This capsule that I made was not what I was thinking at first but when I started to build it, I saw that this capsule would hold better than the one that I was thinking which was a triangular capsule with the egg in the middle but I saw later one that the egg would break if it hit one of the flat sides. The capsule is a cube that is made out of the tongue depressors and I used most of the yarn for the big cage and I used the Elmer’s glue to glue the tongue depressors together. I used pieces of the paper clips to hold the popsicle sticks together with the tongue depressors and some

In the lab of “The Falling Eggs and Automotive Lab”, we had to design a protective device able to hold the egg and allowing it survive from the impact of hitting the ground from the top of the staircase. We did this lab to investigate newton’s Laws and prove how they work. In the lab, we have to observe the forces that act on the egg and evaluate the way they work. We do this lab with an egg to relate to a real life collision with a car. The egg is essentially the person and the device that the egg is in is the Airbag. We use our knowledge about airbags and apply that to this lab in order to make the egg survive and not crack.

Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe. The globe must be shaken to actuate the snow so the white particles can fall gradually to reach the base. When the marble (object used for this experiment) falls, it experiences two external forces which are; the gravitational force and the aerodynamic (fluid resistance) drag of the marble, which affects the rate of the marble. As the marble is falling, the speed is increased due to the gravitational force, which is pulling the marble downwards to the base of the beaker until it reaches the terminal velocity, where both external forces are equal. However, there are factors that can affect the marble’s terminal velocity, such as

The purpose behind the egg drop project is for students to understand the concept of momentum, collision, impulse and force. To do this, they will create a protective carrier that will surround the egg. The egg will then be dropped from a certain height. The device that is created should weigh enough to increase the time of impact, therefore decreasing the force of impact on the egg so it doesn’t crack.

By the end of the experiment, it was predicted that the egg would be swollen when left in water and shriveled when left in corn syrup. Based on the data given from the table above, the prediction is, more or less, right. The egg did, in fact, shrivel up and the weight of the egg did go down as well. Compared to the beginning of the experiment where the egg had an initial mass of 81.50 grams, but by the end of the water aspect of the research the egg ended up weighing 93.74 grams, therefore, there was an increase of 12.24 grams. Using the data table the weight from the start the syrup aspect of the experiment was 93.74 grams, after being left in syrup the egg weighed a total of 57.32 grams, thus, the egg decreased in weight by 36.42 grams.

Once an object is in the air its flight path is governed prior to its release. There

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.

Have you ever heard of drop the egg challenge? Well, I’m here to tell you about my drop the egg challenge. You have to drop the egg from a distance in the air, but the egg cannot crack. Yes, it is possible. Here’s the supplies my partner and I used. We had a bowl, rocks, cardboard, four paper towel rolls, gorilla tape, hot glue gun, and of course an EGG! First we placed the rocks in the bowl, then glued a square foot piece of cardboard on top of the bowl, next we glued/taped the paper towel rolls (on top of the cardboard glued to the bowl), after we cut a small circle in a small square piece of cardboard (so the egg can fit in it), therefor we glued the egg in the circle and we cut a half of a bottle and put it

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

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.

If you pull a tablecloth very fast from underneath a table setting, given minimal friction, the dishes will not move from their original position. Describe this trick in terms of Newton's first law.

Newton’s First Law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The data collected from this lab supports this statement. When the brick was hung motionlessly, its average weight was 15.1 ± 0.2 N. When the brick’s weight was measured while it was being lowered with a constant velocity, it stayed identical to the original weight at 15.1 ± 0.2 N. When the brick was raised with a constant velocity, its weight was 15.2 ± 0.2 N, remaining similar to the bricks’ weight but increased only by 0.1 N. An object that is being lowered and raised at a constant velocity—both with a constant speed and direction—can have balanced forces

The forces that are involve with the experiments are basically focused on the concurrent forces. The experiment also allows us to develop the condition of balancing or arranging the angles both sides on a force table. This laboratory experiment allows us to take the mathematical abstraction of a vector to make it tangible as possible. This experiment will look into two ways of
