Egg Drop Containerer

You are twenty five feet- or approximately seven meters- in the air, plummeting to a concrete ground. Your only protection is the vehicle in which you are sitting in. You will not survive based on luck, but rather science. The Egg Drop Challenge is an Engineering Design Challenge, which will be using the concepts of Force, Momentum, Gravity, and Energy. In partners of two we must create a vehicle that can minimize the force of impact from a high drop while protecting the egg inside. Nevertheless, these goals do not come without constraints. Not only must we complete this project in exactly nine days, but we must also stick to the rules given. Such rules include; only using the materials allotted, and the vehicle built cannot exceed the width or height of 60 centimeters. With these constraints given, the participants in the challenge must make sure that their goals can still be met.

Hypothesis: If the egg is placed into water, then it will increase in size since water is a hypotonic liquid because it contains more water than the egg.

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

2. The ball contains kinetic energy while in motion near the bottom of its path.

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.

The evidence that was collected in the experiment refuted the day one hypothesis because after the egg soaked in vinegar for 72 hours, the mass of the egg was not the same, it was greater than before. The day two hypothesis was also refuted because after the egg soaked in maple syrup for 48 hours, the mass of the egg was not greater, it was less than before. The evidence collected accepted the day three hypothesis because after soaking in deionized water for 24 hours, the mass of the egg became greater than

This, of course, is due to the effects hypertonic state holds on the egg because there was such a high concentration of syrup outside of the egg versus the inside of the egg where there was very little. This provoked the water to move out of the egg and into the cup where the syrup

The objective of this project was to create a structure that will protect a raw egg and prevent it from breaking when being dropped from a minimum height of two meters. A decent hypothesis or prediction one could develop before any experimental trials would be as follows. The structure that provides the longest duration of impact between the falling egg the ground will provide the desired results of an undamaged egg. The duration of time in which the ground applies a force to the egg carrying structure is referred to as impulse. The longer the span of impact time, the more mild the force acting upon

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.

When the 4 eggs were weighed it was found that out of the 4 solutions, 2 were hypotonic and 2 were hypertonic. The mass of 2 of the eggs increased and the other 2 decreased after 60 minutes in the various solutions. Out of the 4, the most hypotonic solution was the distilled water; and the most hypertonic solution was the solution with 2.0M glucose. The

Obtain an unshelled egg from your teacher. Handle the egg gently. Use a balance to find the egg’s mass and record it in the table. Place the egg in the container and add enough distilled water to cover it. Observe the egg after 20 minutes, one day, and two days.

The eggs will increase and decrease in mass when placed solutions with different amount of solutes. This

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
