egg drop blog #1
Our egg drop project works by the gravitational pull of a capsule with an egg inside or attached, that lands up right when released from a high space. A parachute is optional to slow down the speed of the capsule as it's pulled to the ground.
For our second draft our average velocity is 7.66ft per second.
On landing day our egg will be successful due to elements we've put on the capsule to insure a smooth landing. Some of the elements we included are installed foam on the sides, a layer of duct tape outside the box, layers of foam and sponges to support the egg, concealment of the egg in soft foam materials, a parachute to slow down the speed of the capsule, and a square of cardboard at the bottom to make the capsule land up straight. I also think our egg will be safe on landing day because we made the capsule to last and put a lot of effort and energy into this egg drop and I have a good feeling about landing day.
