The formula for this design is F=ma=>Ft=mV
For this, the mass is important, because if the machine is to heavy, it will drop faster and the impact will be heavier, the chance of the egg breaking will also increase, while if the weight is light, it will drop slower and the impact will also less. So basing this equation, and because of the restriction of material and rules, I decided to designed a machine that have small square box, and in it, there is a cone that will contain the egg. I thought of this design because I think of how the small square box will absorb the instead of the cone impact cone, so the egg will had a higher chance of survive. …show more content…
