hi,
I just got my project from physics, and its that annoying, classic egg drop situation. I have a lot of restrictions, and its out of 20 points, so its pretty hard. I would LOVE it if anyone of you could maybe contribute any ideas and suggestions and such. Thanks a bunch!
Restrictions and Point Deductions:
Time:
Time of fall is less than 2 seconds= no deduction
Time of fall is between 2 seconds and 4 seconds= -1 pt
Time of fall is between 4 seconds and 10 seconds= -2 pts
Time of fall is greater than 10 seconds= -3pts
Accuracy:
If landing and at rest within 40cm squared target area on the ground= no deduction
If landing and at rest outside 40cm sqared target area on ground= -1pt deduction
Height:
If final resting place of egg is within 5 cm of ground level= no deduction
If final resting place of egg is between 5 cm and 10 cm off the ground= -1 pt
If final resting place of egg is between 10cm and 35cm off the ground= -3 pts
If final resting place of egg is greater than 35 cm off the ground= -4 pts
Construction
Use of padding around the egg= -3 pts
Use of catching device with a base greater than 400cm squared= -1 pt
Use of catching device with a base greater than 1200cm squared= -2 pts
Use of a catching device higher than 30cm= -1 pt
Use of any type of casing/box/bottle/enclosing covering the egg= -1 pt
Use of duct tape/any type of tape= -2 pts
Survivability
If egg cracks but does not leak= -1 pt
If egg breaks and leakage occurs= -4 pts
Engineering Effort
If the device shows minimal effort/though= -5 pts
!Remember that this project is out of 20 pts, so to get an A, I can only miss 1!
(I just want to get some ideas of how other pros would do it, so suggestions and comments and idea would be greatly appreciated.)
Thanks Again!
