I claim that my egg drop did not survive the fall.

First, my egg drop survived until the height of 2 meters high. My egg did not survive the two meter drop because my design did not have enough padding and it did not have enough support. If it had more padding then when it hit the padding would absorb the shock when it hit the ground. It survived the one meter drop because the foam that surrounded the egg absorbed that little bit of shock. To start with, here are three things that could've improved my egg drop. First Off, if I had more padding that would've coushioned the egg and absorbed a lot of the force that would crack the egg. Second, is that if the foam inside capsule had support on the outside like a good frame with rubber bands holding it above the ground that would also take more of the shock. Also, If my egg drop project had some kind of device that resisted air it would fall slower than if I didn't have it. My egg drop has minimized inertia and gravitational pull. My egg drop has minimized gravitational pull because it doesn't have a lot of mass and and the more mass in an object the more gravity pulls on the object. Next, it has a softer material which cushions the egg and protects it. My project is 82g. with the egg and if you multiply that by 9.8 m/s2 you get 0.8036 newtons Newton's 2nd law. When my egg drop hit the ground the ground stopped my egg drop from going any farther which is inertia, Newton's rst law. My eggstronaut did not survive the two meter drop because when it hit the ground the ground pushed on the container which pushed on the egg which broke the egg. In conclusion, my egg drop broke at two meters.
