Egg Drop Physics

When a small egg is dropped onto the piece of 1-inch foam, from which height did the egg break entirely? Select all that apply.

• When dropped from 1 meter.

• When dropped from 5 meters.

• When dropped from 10 meters.

• Nonsense! The small egg never broke entirely when dropped onto 1-inch foam.

When a large egg is dropped from a height of 10 meters, upon which landing surface did the egg break entirely? Select all that apply.

• When landing on the hard floor.

• When landing on the 1-inch piece of foam.

• When landing in the box filled with foam pieces

• Nonsense! The large egg never broke when dropped onto any of the landing surfaces from a height of 10 meters.

How do the three surfaces compare in terms of providing the egg with a safe landing? Which ordering below ranks the three surfaces from least safe to most safe?

• hard floor < foam box < 1-inch foam

• hard floor < 1-inch foam < foam box

• foam box < 1-inch foam < hard floor

• 1-inch foam < foam box < hard floor

• None of these orderings are correct.

Which statement describes the effect of increasing drop height upon the force encountered by the egg when colliding with the surface?

• The force is not affected by the drop height

• The force is directly related to the drop height. (Increasing drop height = Increase in Force)

• The force is inversely (negatively) related to the drop height (Increasing height = Decrease in Force)

• It is not possible to tell the effect of drop height on the force

When a jumbo egg was dropped from 5 meters onto a 1-inch foam surface, it fractured. Which of the following changes in conditions would lead to a safe landing? Select all that would.

• Change the egg size to a large egg.

• Change the drop height to 1 meter.

• Change the drop height to 10 meters.

• Change the landing surface to a box of foam.

Which of the following variations would increase the force experienced by the egg upon landing? Select all that apply.

• Increase the mass of the egg.

• Decrease the mass of the egg.

• Increase the drop height.

• Decrease the drop height.

• Change the surface to a box of foam.

What affect does doubling the mass of an egg have upon the force that the egg experience?

• Doubling the mass makes the force twice as large.

• Doubling the mass makes the force one-half as large.

• Doubling the mass makes the force larger, but less than two times larger.

• Doubling the mass seems to have no affect upon the force experienced by the egg

Pay attention to the time it took for the ▵V to occur. Which statement is true.

• The longer time it takes to change the velocity, the less force the egg will feel

• The longer time it takes to change the velocity, the more force the egg will experience

• The velocity change is not related to the force.
