Egg Drop Concepts

Front

What is the method to accurately measure the mass of an egg holder?

Back

Using a scale.

Front

What is an example of reverse engineering?

Back

Taking apart a box to figure out how to put it back together.

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

A measure of the amount of matter in an object.

Front

During which step of the Design Process do you experiment with the prototype?

Back

Test and Evaluate.

Front

How do Newton's Laws apply to an egg drop?

Back

All of the above: The Law of Acceleration (F=ma), The Law of Inertia (an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon), and The Law of Action-Reaction (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction).

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravity.

Front

What is the purpose of a prototype in the design process?

Back

To test and evaluate ideas before finalizing the design.

Front

What does the Law of Inertia state?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the significance of controlled conditions in testing?

Back

To ensure that results are reliable and valid.

Front

What is the role of data collection in the design process?

Back

To analyze the performance of the prototype and make informed decisions.
