Alright, so we were just assigned our ISUs for grade 12 physics, and I'm a bit confused as to what is the best design for my project.
We are to build a 'device' that launches an egg over a 1 metre tall 'fence' that is 2 metres away. The egg must then go through an 'open window' that is another 2 metres away, and then it must land in a 'fish tank'. The reason why I use quotations for some of these objects is because they may be replaced by other ones - such as the fish tank that may just be a cardboard box.
The device does not have to move, although if it DOES it can move closer to the fence and launch from a closer distance. I don't know if this will help though.
To make this more clear, here's a diagram:

The window is 1 m tall by 0.5 m wide. The fish tank is about 0.75 m tall and 0.35 m in diameter. Keep in mind, the position of the fish tank can be anywhere from 0 to 1.5 metres from the window wall.
The <b>maximum </b> dimensions I can have on my 'device' is 1 metre by 1 metre by 1 metre.
Any suggestions?
