The Egg Drop Introduction: Creating a capsule to protect an egg from a 16 foot drop draws many similarities to how automobile manufacturers design their cars. Manufacturers take many things into account when they go through the creative process. In particular‚ they need to utilize Newton’s second law to minimize the force that acts upon the passengers. However‚ during a crash‚ Newton’s third law says that when a body exerts a force on another body‚ the second body experiences an oppositely directed

Egg Drop The purpose of this lab‚ was to create a device to help an egg survive the fall from a fire truck without breaking. In this lab I used a beer holder and cotton balls and a gel pillow to help the egg survive the fall. My procedure was to put a few cotton balls in the beer holder then I put my egg in it‚ next I filled the rest of the holder with cotton balls. Finally I taped the beer holder to my weighted pillow and it weighed around 490g. My results concluded that my egg hit to hard

Johanna Malmstrom Mr. Manolio Honors Physics 17 January 2014 Egg Impact Crash Test My project was constructed by using simple materials that could be found around the house and were transformed into a protective device for two Grade A Large Eggs. The materials of my project are cardboard‚ tape and a hot glue gun. I used a cardboard box whose flaps folded in over top‚ but taped open the flaps so that the height would meet the 20 cm minimum requirement. I made sure the width was less than 50 cm

Victoria Pham Marshall Malino Ethan Waugh Naked Egg Drop lab May 21‚ 2013 The purpose of the lab was to create a contraption that prevents an egg from breaking when dropped from about 18 ft. We made net out of yarn and lined the bottom of the box with cotton to soften the impact of the egg. Though the contraption didn’t work very well since the egg broke the moment it landed. Though we managed to calculate the amount of Potential energy at the start and how much kinetic energy it had when it

problems has intrigued me from an early age. I am always curious about how things work. Since taking AP Physics this year‚ I have been able to appreciate how math and science work together. I have taken other rigorous courses‚ but often it felt like learning math was isolated from other coursework. Math challenges me to problem solve and think at a higher level. I also love science‚ but until I took AP Physics my science classes were too easy. The labs in freshmen and sophomore science were enjoyable‚ but

AP Biology August 23‚ 2012 Egg Osmosis Lab Definition of osmosis: The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from high to low concentrations Hypothesis: If I place an egg in vinegar‚ then the outer layer of the egg is going to become slimy and look like rubber. It will also become larger and bubbles will form on and around the egg. Hypothesis: If I place an egg in corn syrup‚ then the egg will become small and the outer layer will not look like rubber any longer. Day one:

The first slinky’s mass was weighed‚ using a scale‚ and its tension was measured using a force measurer 2. The slinky was stretched to 4m. 3. The linear mass density was solved for‚ by dividing the mass by the length. 4. The theoretical velocity was solved for‚ using the equation

For Lab 1‚ my partner and I will be demonstrating the law in which connects the period of the pendulum‚ expressed as T‚ to the length of the string‚ expressed a L. The system the lab will be based on will include a pendulum with a weight of W suspended at a fixed point by the string with a variable length of L and an angle theta to be measured using a protractor. The variable T will be measured as the period of time needed for the weight of the pendulum to swing back and forth once. For part 1 of
