Do real particles "cause" virtual particles, or do virtual particles "cause" real particles? Put another way, is it so that real particles actually exist in and of themselves and interact as normally described by transferring virtual particles with each other. OR, Are only virtual...

OK well as the title says I have to do an egg drop using only a foot of tape, 3 sheets of computer paper, and 2 straws (they have the bendable end). So is there any suggestion of what will work best? The egg will be dropped from 10cm to begin with, and then the drop height will increase until it...

For a science project we have to make an ''egg protector''. It has to have: -parachute and -base to hold egg in (I just joined 30 minutes ago and could not find a forum like this. So sorry if this is a duplicate.) Aaaaaanyways, our group has to drop it from a 5m tall height, the...

Homework Statement A 56.0 g egg falls 120.0 m from rest and hits a 5.00 cm thick foam pad. The egg does not break, but instead compresses the foam pad. It is 6.25 ms from the moment the egg hits the foam ad until all downward motion (falling) is stopped. Assuming there is a constant upward...

Homework Statement an egg dropped on the road breaks, while the egg that is dropped on grass doesn't break...why? a. the change in momentum is greater b. change in momentum is less c. the time interval for stopping is greater d. time interval for stopping is less Homework Equations...

for class we have to make a car with an egged attached to the front (so its protruding). the car has to be able to stop on its own and travel distances of 6m, 8m, 10m, and one even numbered mystery distance between 5m and 10m. compressed gases, explosives, and premade parts may not be used. i...

Dear reader, Of course I searched the site to see other persons discussing the the egg shell theory, but I did not find it. So, perhaps someone can direct me to the subject. I am interested in the theory that when the universe was created in a big bang, the only part of it is the part we...

An egg is hard, but yet delicate food that people have been making contests of, for many years. But i am part of one that i lack the physics to figure out the perfect device here are the simple rules of this contest. Holy Omelets Batman… It’s the Egg Drop Contest! Design a egg protection...

we are required to do an egg drop. all we are allowed to use is 2 news paper spreads, 2 m string, and masking tape. what's the best way to use these materials in order to be able to drop a hardboiled egg from a 4th floor without any cracks. thanks!

Our design lecturer require us to come out with a black box which can differentiate between raw egg and hard-boiled egg. On the black box, there should be one inlet and two outlets (one for raw, the other for hard-boiled).Dimension constraints of the black box is 500mm x 500mm x 500mm. The power...

According to my knowledge, I am able to apply Newton's second law on an egg for an egg drop; the resulted force from that can would be the force which occurs when it hits the ground. That force would also be reflected when it hits the ground according to Newton's third law. What is confusing...

***EDIT***Sorry for a second there, I tried to convince myself that FN was not equal to Fg, but it must. Given the coefficient of static friction (.4) between an egg and a pan, what is the smallest angle from the horizontal taht will cause the egg to slide? Here's my drawing...

Okay, I am totally baffled here. For our final project in Algebra we have one class period to build an egg drop carrier. The egg will be dropped from 8 feet, and we have VERY LIMITED materials. - 8 Straws - 1 6x6 Piece of Thick Paper - 3 Tissues - 2 ft. of Masking Tape Another rule is that...

So we have an egg drop project due at the end of the semester for my introductory physics class. We're dropping it from the second story, which is about 3 meters down I believe. The materials we are given are 20 drinking straws, 30 cm of tape, and 1 8x11 piece of paper that we can cut/fold and...

Homework Statement I have designed an egg drop project that performs just as I had hoped and portected the egg perfectly. I would need to make the object as stable as possible while it is falling. My container is the foam molds that held the screen for my computer. The structure of the foam...

Egg Mover - Design ideas!? We've been assigned a design project and I'm just looking for some thoughts, comments, opinions and ideas. I'd like to get few different perspectives on the design problem. I've attached a picture that depicts what the system looks like. Homework Statement...

Device that catches an egg! We have a physics project. We are droping an egg from 9.91 meters. We have to use a device that will catch an egg from that height. We can use anything that we want to use to catch the egg. I am trying to get the least height. What materials should we use or...

[FONT="Garamond"]Homework Statement So, as you all know, everyone has to do an egg drop project sometime. Well, I got mine today. Yes, I know there are other similar topics, but they all the ones I found had a bunch of restrictions that didn't apply. Rules: -Any materials may be used -no kits...

Okay so we are going to drop an egg from three stories high. The only materials we are allowed to use is popsicle sticks, glue, string, and garbage bags...HELP!

The egg drop rules are that the container must be less than 1600 cm cubed in volume, wiht no dimension greater than 25 cm and a maximum mass of 1 kg. The eggs must be able to be easily removed after the drop from 2.5 meters. Parachutes may not be used and the device must be in one piece. Three...

Homework Statement an egg boiled for 4 minutes at the top of a mountain does not harden Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution pressure is lower at the top of a mountain than at sea level. Is the issue here the fact that pressure inside the egg does not build up sufficiently to...

Homework Statement My physics teacher is making us do an egg drop after only being in school for two weeks. We can only use up to four 8.5" x 11" sheets of regular computer paper and as much tape as we want. The tape cannot be used as more than a form of attachment. Meaning that the tape...

"Egg Cleansing" A friend of mine, whose mother grew up in a small village in Mexico, related to me her mother's story of the local "Bruja". Among other things, this woman performed an "egg cleansing" on people to rid them of bad mojo they had collected. She would rub a common chicken egg over...

Just a food for thought. Firstly - can a fertilized human ovum develop into any stage of embryo inside of a bird egg (chicken egg, or ostrich egg or whichever...). That conceptual difference between how ingeniously and conveniently birds come to life and how unpractical and actually...

Our instructor has given us the task of coming up with a container to drop an egg from a distance of 30' and not break. Container can't be any larger than 12"x12"x12" and no parachutes or anything that will affect fall/normal gravity. Egg must remain accesible to verify that it hasn't broken. No...

I have been set a challenge to derive the formula for boiling a “perfect” soft-boiled egg, (essentially a thermal diffusion equation), in terms of the mass of the egg, the specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of an egg, the initial temperature of the egg and the temperature of the...

An egg of mass 5.8*10^-2 is dropped from a height of 1.5m onto a floor. Assuming air resistance is negligable, calculate for the egg: a) loss of potential energy. b) the kinetic enrgy just before impact. c) the speed just before impact d) the momentum just before impact. So far i have...

Before I ask my question, I understand its possible to balance an egg. I just went out to buy some eggs and did it. I seem to have a magic egg that literally takes me about 3 seconds to balance. (I did cheat a bit. I shook it up pretty nice to break the chalaza to lower the center of gravity.)...
