Lethal Alleles

The physics concepts that were illustrated in our ballock drop assure were momentum and energy. In the project, we apothegm how momentum increases as a normal junky without anything to behindhand it coldcock would crack. That was because the longer that the egg drop off, the more momentum the egg gains. We also truism that by adding resistance during the fall, such as a plastic pocket parachute, would slow down the egg enough so that It would non crack when It reached refer with the ground.The other concept that was discussed was energy. We saw that before the egg Is dropped, It has a potential energy. The potential energy Is the amount of energy that croup turn Into hysterical energising energy, which can be ex draw upded when the egg move to the ground. The energy can leave the objects from the Impact of the fall (deformation of the object), sound waves, the Impact It has on the floor, or In the surroundings of the egg.In order for a project to be successful, the proj ect would have to have parts that would help slow the energy that would surely break the egg without a protective barrier. If I were to do this project again, I would probably add more sponges check the In array sides of the construction paper ring and add little pen springs on the bottom of he basket. I would add more side sponges because when we did the actual dropping of the egg, I noticed that the whole basket fell to its side when it reached the ground.By adding more sponge, this would add more cushion to absorb the kinetic energy. I would add the little pen springs on the bottom of the basket so that the whole baskets impact could be absorbed, not only the egg being protected, but also the sponges. By adding these modifications, the egg may be able to withstand an even higher fall than a 2 story drop because of the extra cushions that would be able to absorb the energy.
