Physics Project - 2nd Quarter
The Great Physics Egg Drop (50 points) Name:___________ Grade ___________
Purpose: to study the rate of falling object
to build a device to protect a falling egg
to learn about impulse & momentum in stopping the egg
Materials: Only 10 pieces of printer paper and tape
You should package the egg in such a way that you must be able to place the egg in the device properly and remove it after the fall in less than 2 minutes time without damaging the device. You must make a parachute at home and attach it to this device in class
Procedure:
determine fall rate of your egg device
make a drawing of your device and explain how it works
how does it reduce impact force and increase impulse time
how does it increase air friction and reduce final velocity
draw a vector diagram of your egg at terminal velocity
Each group will turn in 2 paragraph typewritten report on how their device works, how it increased air friction and the time of impact and on how the design can be improved upon along with the vector diagram.
Grading: One device per group (4 to 5)
20points - performance - egg does not break _______ points
15 points- penalty if egg cracks
12 points- penalty if egg breaks
10 points- penalty if yolk is broken
15 points – if device falls in 2 seconds or more
11 – 14 points – if device falls between 1.6 and 1.9 seconds
6 – 10 points - if device falls between 1.1 and 1.5 seconds
5 - points if egg falls like a solid device
15 points Report (formative)
10 points design, diagram and explanation _______ points
5 points calculate difference
calculate acceleration rate
calculate impact velocity
Calculations: distance of drop 4.90 m
time of fall (solid) 1.0 sec impact velocity 9.8 m/s g = 9.80 m/s2
time of fall (egg) ___________ s
acceleration rate ___________ m/s2 a = 2 x 4.90 m / t2
impact velocity ___________ m/s v = a x t
Impulse __________ N.s I = m.(vf – vi) (m = mass of egg in kg)
distance of drop ‘d’ = 4.9 m, mass of egg ‘m’ = 0.06 kg, g = 9.8 m/sec2
Impulse = change in momentum = m (vf – vi)
