Egg Drop Physics & Trivia

Front

How does an airbag protect a driver in a collision?

Back

It increases the time over which the collision occurs, reducing the force experienced by the driver.

Front

What is defined as a push or pull?

Back

Force is defined as a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What is the function of the yolk in an egg?

Back

The yolk provides nutrients to the developing embryo.

Front

What is the SI unit for acceleration?

Back

The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

Are all eggs white?

Back

No, eggs can come in various colors including brown, white, and blue.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

The total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is the role of air resistance in the egg drop experiment?

Back

Air resistance acts as a force that opposes the motion of the falling egg, slowing its descent.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or height.
