What is the benefit of spreading out the impact force over a longer period of time?

• It makes the contraption heavier

• It increases the energy of the impact

• It decreases the energy of the impact

• It has no effect on the impact

What is the main advantage of the straw contraption in the egg drop competition?

• It increases the speed of the falling egg

• It spreads the loads next to the egg

• It creates a puncture load on the egg

• It directs the force directly at the egg
