noooo, really? haha :smile:

ya but any liquid or gas that is denser than H20 is considered padding! and that's -3 pts and that is an 85% already

well, you that's the hard part... i decided since it bounces away off the target, I put a cardboard box within the limits and will land it in there

You need to be able to handle life and death without too much emotion to become a surgeon. Its a helluva lot a work too. Med school and stuff. After all that, you need to have been top in med school to become a surgeon, and not a regular doctor (no offense meant to them). To suceed in the...

i agree, windmills would just be too complicated and would have a million variables to go wrong, especially in a storm! Sails, two, three masted, depends what you want, and maybe oars or a man-powered fishtail. (make sure to get the sailing right, as I am a sailor, and i don't want to read...

Thanks! I tried this with a cardboard box and it worked! now i only have to find a way to make it be 5cm off the ground, so a smaller box, and a smaller box to fit into the target! thanks for the idea, though! Im going to use it, I threw it down as hard as i could, and it didnt crack...

frames count as an inclosing :mad: :devil:

since i can't post the same question on both places, PLEASE visit the thread in the general engineering forum, where it all is explained. In case its been bumped down, here's the URL: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=75014&goto=newpost

hi, I have a problem that, conceptually, i do not get. I've looked through my physics book, and I still can't grasp it. If you just explain this one, i think ill catch on to the rest of the problems. A cardboard ball has a mass of 0.1 kg. A sheet of identical carboard has the...

Hi, if anyone has successfully done an egg project like this, I would really appreciate any input. The thread is in the general engineering section. thanks

ya, any type of Styrofoam would be considered a padding. I just learned that fluids and gas are NOT considered padding. Soooooo... I was thinking about maybe a pool or something. Also, to solve the accuracy issue, a net with a sag in the middle would make the egg roll to the middle, erasing the...

off a ledge on the second story of a gym. Not THAT high, maybe 20 feet, more or less... It is not restricted... I drop the egg, how many ways are there to drop an egg? Ya sry that's what I meant Thanks

ill bump for u

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...

it would be variable acceleration, because the consecutive distance between 1&2 is 5 and 2&3 9... so let's say that each time, the velocity increases by one. Would I just take the velocity of 1-2 (5cm per 1/40th of a second) and 2-3 (9cm per 1/40th of a second) and find the average of them to...
