The Egg-Drop Device Process The process of dropping an egg is more complex than a normal person would believe. The egg-dropping process requires knowledge of history‚ engineering‚ and mathematics and physics. To fully understand how an egg drops‚ the knowledge of the history of physics‚ the engineering behind a device‚ and the mathematics and physics of free-fall is needed. Classic physics originates in Ancient Greece. The theories Thales‚ the first physicist‚ designs gives the discipline of physics

Egg drop projects teach students to use logic and teamwork to protect their eggs from a fall. There are a variety of ways to conduct an egg drop. Begin by explaining the process and handing out eggs to the students. Set the parameters of your egg drop and a deadline when your students must be ready to drop their eggs or go bust.1.Get an egg-eating snake‚ give it the egg and wait until the egg is about half way down the snake‚ then fit the snake with tail flights (cf a dart)‚ then drop said snake

EGG DROP PROJECT Using principles of physics‚ design and construct a container for a raw egg that can be dropped from the second story balcony of St. Joseph’s Academy and strike the ground without breaking the egg. The finished container must meet the following criteria: No professional packing materials (such as bubble wrap or Styrofoam peanuts) may be used. The egg must be raw and either Large or X-Large. If a parachute is attached to the container‚ it must be made from

Luis Berrios 3/7/12 Physics Honors B Block Egg Drop Project 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

Problem/Purpose “In this experiment we want to investigate __________________________. We will change the ____________ and measure the ____________‚ while keeping the _________ constant” II. Prediction “We predict that the straws would take in all the impact force‚ it’s because the straws has many collapsing points. This would help sustain in the eggs inside. III. Materials * Sponge * Straws * Plastic tape * Duct tape * Yarn strings * 2 Eggs IV. Procedure

“In what way can a drop an egg off of a building without it cracking?” when I first asked this question a believed that it would be an easy task. I however‚ was very wrong. As I came up with ideas Mr.Billy kept on turning them down saying “that isn’t allowed.”‚ but in my defence most of the things that were not allowed were not written in the rules. In the end our design was very successful in safely delivering the egg to the ground. With changes it probably could have been improved‚ I was happy

NASA Egg Drop Competition Josh Bryant Purpose: The objective of the project was to build a structure capable of bringing the egg safely to the ground without harming or damaging the egg in as little material as possible. Equipment: One larger bottle One smaller bottle One red balloon One blue balloon Too much tape Procedure: The procedure to make the device was as simple as cutting two bottles in half so that you may then stretch the balloon

our egg drop project were momentum and energy. In the project‚ we saw how momentum increases as a normal egg without anything to slow it down would crack. That was because the longer that the egg fell‚ the more momentum the egg gains. We also saw that by adding resistance during the fall‚ such as a plastic bag “parachute”‚ would slow down the egg enough so that it would not crack when it reached impact with the ground. The other concept that was discussed was energy. We saw that before the egg is

as the drop height increases‚ the bounce height of all the balls will also increase. This is because the increasing drop height will result in an increase in the gravitational potential energy found within the balls that results in an increased transformation into kinetic will transform back into kinetic energy on the rebound; the by-product of which is a greater bounce height. The hypothesis was supported by the results. The results showed a clear trend where a steady increase of the drop height

The Bouncy Egg Experiment! Mrs. Murosky December 19‚ 2013 Introduction: GOAL: The goal of this experiment is to get an egg to bounce. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? : The results of the egg experiment is important because it shows what the membrane of an egg looks like‚ but allows the experimenter to have fun in the process. LITERATURE: The acids in the vinegar make the shell deteriorate. Eggs contain "calcium carbonate"(this is what makes it hard)‚ and vinegar is an acid. When they both combine
