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

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

This egg drop experiment forced me to think and develop a design that I felt confident with. I developed several models and tested them numerous times‚ but could not settle on one. Eventually‚ I was able to put an addition onto one of my designs which gave me confidence in its ability to protect that precious egg. I will explain why my design worked so well in respect to impulse‚ air resistance‚ and stability. First‚ I will discuss impulse. Impulse is a force acting briefly on a body and producing

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

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

Running head: Egg Drop Lab Report Egg Drop Lab Report Jon Johnson Rochester Area High School Egg Drop Lab Report Introduction 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

protect a raw egg as it falls to the ground from a height of 8 feet. Your team will receive an egg and a bag of materials. You will be given time to brainstorm how you might construct a protective mechanism for dropping your egg without breaking it. You are only allowed to use the materials in your bag within the time frame allotted. It will be important to work well with your teams in analyzing the materials you are given and predicting which materials will safely protect your egg during its descent

The objective of our project was to design and build a contraption that would secure an egg from breaking upon impact from a second story window‚ and the contraption wieghing as least as possible while falling the fastest. We wanted to design something that would provide a lot of cushioning directly to the egg‚ and also provide extra cushioning to weaken the impact. After testing and submitting a design of just bubble wrap around the egg we found out that it will not be allowed. Due to this we had

The Egg Drop Analysis 1. As far as researching goes I did not do many research besides videos I mainly saw a lot of sponges or big sponges use for people experiment and I in fact went with it and prototypes I used were mainly the same thing with some added cushion to it. 2. I forgot to take a picture but a good description would definitely be a can and thats wrap in cushion on the inside and the outside but the error I made was not covering the metal shock that will it takes impact it release

Egg Drop (lab writes) In our science class we did an egg drop experiment. We used the scientific method to answer the question and solve the problem. Our question for this particular lab was “will an egg break or be secured‚ if covered with thick sponges and drop from ten feet above the ground?” our idea was to secure the egg from breaking and we wanted to design something that would provide a lot of cushioning directly on the egg. We came up with many different ideas until we choose
