Egg Drop

            
             In my egg drop project, there were two basic space- shapes. One was the triangle and the other a cube. We dropped my final project from the upstairs in the shop. Velocity, acceleration, and inertia definitely affected my egg in a negative way. A scrambled egg is not what I was hoping for. .
             This is what my egg project looked like (the basic):.
             A lot of things went wrong with this project. There were toothpicks pointing in the direction of the egg. Also it was mostly triangles and they are too solid and added weight to it. Another thing is that there was too much glue that made up the project so it added mass to the project which is exactly what I didn't want. Starting and planning earlier would have probably helped a great deal.
             To fix what I did wrong, would be plenty of things. First of all I would change my plans completely. There would be no toothpicks in the direction of the egg. I wouldn't use triangles as my main space-shape. It would consist of cubes for support. Also I would us less toothpicks and less glue. .
             Here is a rough example of what I would have done next time (side view):.
             This I believe would be more effective because this kind of looks like other peoples whose egg survived.
             Velocity, acceleration, and inertia played a big part on d-day. Velocity is the quantity that designates how fast and in what direction a point is moving. The time rate at which a velocity is changing is acceleration. An opposition any agency attempts to put a property of a body by virtue in, if its moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity is inertia.
             The point when the egg was being dropped, velocity designated how fast and which direction the project was moving. Velocity is called a vector. This is because it has direction and magnitude. My egg drop project definitely had a direction and magnitude I didn't want it to have.
             My egg project kept falling faster and faster. This was because it accelerated.

1. Egg Drop

Physics Egg Drop My egg drop container was a brown box and inside the box I had a baggy filled with air, a peanut butter jar, and bubble wrap. ... I put my egg in a peanut butter jar, so there would be no room for the egg to move. By putting the egg in the peanut butter jar, the space was so tight, the egg couldn't move, and therefore, couldn't break. ... Fortunately, my egg didn't break! ... It made us have to think about the forces that we'd need to reduce to not have our egg drop. ...

2. Egg Drop Lab

In my egg drop package I used: poster board, staples, ten pennies, model magic clay, rice krispies cereal, a slurpie lid, streamers, and a raw chicken egg. ... Since the egg drop package is in a free-fall state for approximately twenty feet, the only force acting upon it is gravity (the significance of air resistance is minimal in this case). ... The effect of the greater force is offset by the opposite effect of the greater mass, so each egg drop project accelerates at the same rate - 10 m/s/s. ... My egg drop project is durable, lightweight, and uses materials that absorb the shock of hi...

7. The Life of a Penguin

They breed during the Antarctic winter, June-August, during which the temperature can drop to -76°F. In May or June one egg is hatched and transferred to the male to protect on top of his feet and under his pouch. One of the main causes of unsuccessful egg hatching is due to the egg not being insulated properly or being on the ice too long. While the father incubates the egg, the mother leaves to feed and returns when the egg is hatched. ... While the penguins are incubating their eggs, they hold their head in a special position to decrease exposure to the wind. ...

Interpunctella of different life stages (egg, larva, pupae, and adult) will be used in this experiment. ... Experiment For the hatchability experiment fresh fertilized eggs had to be obtained from adult mating pairs after several hours of pupae emergence. Adults were placed inside a plastic tube with an opening on the bottom so that fertilized eggs can simply drop down to a piece of paper for collection. However aside from eggs, scales and insect parts also dropped to the bottom. After collection of all dropped materials, the collected materials were then placed directly under a fume hood f...
