NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (NASA) Egg Drop Competition

п»їNASA Egg Drop Competition Josh Bryant

Purpose: The objective of the project was going to build a structure capable of bringing the egg safely to the ground without harming or destroying the egg in as little material as it can be.

Equipment:

One much larger bottle

One smaller bottle

A single red go up

One blue balloon

A lot of tape

Treatment: The procedure to make the device was as simple because cutting two bottles in half so that you may then stretch the balloon above the opening that you have created. This is when the egg will snooze during the show up. Measuring the device we positioned it on a scale to see exactly what the weight was, which turned out to be 76. 5Kg. The dimensions from the structure had been measured having a ruler making use of the centimeter part. The proportions came out to be 9cm back button 9cm times 24. 5cm. Just below the maximum height. Screening the fall season, we took the egg and the structure to the rotunda to drop it from regarding 5. several meters. You should then become judged how or in case the egg survives the fall season and given a rating that fits well.

Data: The dimensions from the structure will be precisely 9cm x 9cm x 24. 5cm. The weight of the object is usually 76. 5Kg.

Info Analysis: Throughout the fall the bottles bent more than likely to due to devoid of enough weight placed on the bottom and the middle of gravity being away a bit. This resulted in the breaking with the egg.

Conclusion: The items I would did differently happen to be that I would generate a more steady structure so that the egg would have a smaller percentage of breaking or taking out. Otherwise, We would have made it so that there was excess fat near the underlying part so that the container would not point so much during the fall creating the egg to land on its side and break. Some sketchy results I obtained were the material totally absorbed the shock of the egg for the most part, and then if the egg would be harmed during the fall. Changes in design to get a higher drop height will...
