How to Design an Egg Drop Project with Limited Materials by Tomorrow?

AI Thread Summary
To successfully design an egg drop project with limited materials, focus on creating a structure that absorbs impact while adhering to the project rules. You can use a maximum of two different packing materials and three materials total, ensuring the egg is not fully covered and can be easily removed. Consider using soft materials like cotton balls or bubble wrap to cushion the egg, and think creatively about your design, such as using popsicle sticks for a cradle. Testing your design before submission is crucial to identify any weaknesses. With careful planning and creativity, you can create an effective egg drop solution.

I understand that you are in need of help with your egg drop design that is due tomorrow. Don't worry, I am here to assist you! First of all, take a deep breath and try not to panic. You still have time to come up with a great design that will protect your egg and earn you a good grade.

To start, make sure you carefully read and understand all the rules. This will help you determine what materials you can and cannot use. Remember, you are only allowed a maximum of 2 different packing materials and 3 materials in total. This means you will need to be strategic in your choices.

Next, think about the purpose of the egg drop challenge - to protect the egg from breaking when dropped. This means you will need to create a structure or packaging that can absorb the impact of the fall. You can use materials such as cotton balls, bubble wrap, or even paper towels to create a cushion for your egg.

Be creative with your design and think outside the box. For example, you can create a cradle using popsicle sticks and rubber bands, or a parachute using a plastic bag and string. Just remember to follow the rules and ensure that the egg is not fully covered and can be removed easily.

If you are still struggling, don't hesitate to ask for help from a teacher, parent, or classmate. They may have some great ideas that could inspire your design. Also, try doing some research online for egg drop designs and see if you can find any inspiration.

Lastly, don't forget to test your design before submitting it. This will give you an idea of how well it will hold up when dropped. Make any necessary adjustments and have confidence in your design.

I believe in you and know that you can come up with a fantastic egg drop design. Good luck!
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
