Homework Statement
i need to make sample calculations of momentum using the mass of a standard egg (.05kg) dropped from 1 2 and 3 meter heights. but i have no clue how to do this

The egg drop project is a common experiment used to demonstrate concepts such as gravity, force, and energy. By designing a contraption to protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a height, students can observe and understand how different materials and structures affect the outcome of the experiment.
Common materials used in an egg drop project include cardboard, bubble wrap, cotton balls, and straws. These materials are used to create a protective structure around the egg to absorb the impact of the drop.
The success of an egg drop project is typically determined by whether or not the egg remains intact after being dropped from a designated height. If the egg does not break, the project is considered successful. Other factors that can be used to determine success include the creativity and effectiveness of the design.
Some tips for designing a successful egg drop contraption include using lightweight materials, creating a cushioning system to absorb the impact, and making sure the egg is securely held in place. It is also important to test and make adjustments to the design before the final drop.
An egg drop project can teach students about the laws of physics, such as gravity and momentum, as well as the principles of engineering and design. It also encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills as students work together to create a successful contraption.
