Background Information
The shell of an egg is designed to distribute the force of an adult bird sitting on the egg, but it does not retain its form as well when faced with a sudden impact. Unprotected, the shell of the egg cracks and the contents of the egg splatter in many directions. During this project, you will design a device to protect an egg on impact. The egg will be dropped from a designated height and allowed to collide with the ground. To protect the egg from impact, you will need to lengthen the time before impact by using your knowledge of force, Newton’s third law of motion, and momentum. This is an engineering challenge because it combines physics principles with real building materials and design constraints. It provides you with the opportunity to think about a problem, construct a solution, and evaluate your solution’s effectiveness.

The drag force, fd, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity v is given by fd = cdaρv 2/2 where cd is a constant called the drag coefficient, a is the projected frontal area of the vehicle, and ρ is the air density. an automobile is moving at v = 80 kilometers per hour with cd = 0.28, a = 2.3 m2, and ρ = 1.2 kg/m3.
