Egg Drop Test

1. How does the impact time affect the force with which the egg container you constructed hitting the ground?

• a. The shorter the amount of time it takes the container to hit the ground the more likely the objects force will be greater
• b. The longer the amount of time it takes the object to hit the ground the less likely the objects force will be greater

2. The definition of an independent variable is:

• a. The variable the scientist changes
• b. The variable the scientist measures
• c. The variable that stays the same throughout the experiment

The definition of a dependent variable is: 

• a. The variable the scientist changes
• b. the variable the scientist measures
• c. The variable that stays the same throughout the experiment

The definition of a control is

• a. The variable the scientist changes
• b. The bariable the scientist measures
• c. The variable that stays the same throughout the experiment

The independent variable in the Egg Drop Project is: 

• a. The egg
• b. The container
• c. The time it takes for the container to drop from the top of the bleachers to the ground

The dependent variable in the Egg Drop Project is:

• a. The egg
• b. The container
• c. The time it takes for the container to drop from the top of the bleachers to the ground

The control in the Egg Drop Project is:

• a. The egg
• b. The container
• c. The time it takes for the container to drop from the top of the bleachers to the ground

When the container hit the ground the egg inside continued to fall. How does Newton's first law apply to the egg inside the container? 

• a. The Law of Acceleration state that F=ma
• b. The Law of Inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
• c. The Law of Action-Reaction states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What is the relationship between impact force and time? 

• a. There is no relationship between impact force and time
• b. The greater the amount of time it takes for an object to hit another surface the less the force
• c. The lesser the amount of time it takes for an object to hit another surface the greater the force

What was the purpose of the lab?

• a. To see if you can build an egg container
• b. To demonstrate how impact time affects force as momentum moves to zero
• c. To demonstrate how Newton's Third Law works
