As you can see from the two drops we did, the eggs cracked both times. Although most people think that is just a complete failure, we believe that this design can be revised and refurbished to fit the needs of the real world. Our original question to start this whole project was How can science be used to solve the humanitarian crisis in Iraq? These were the results we came up with.
We believe that science can be used to relieve the Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq by controlling the speed at which the container falls. Evidence from the egg drop demonstrates how weight and shape effects the force of gravity and acceleration acting upon the egg. When the egg is being dropped gravity immediately takes place to increase the acceleration to the ground. In other words, when airdrop containers are being built the speed at which the airdrop travels can be used to safely drop a container, therefore helping to relieve the crisis. In addition to using speed, displacement can also be used to make sure the airdrop hits the target. Evidence from the egg drop shows that the target is important because if your container does not have the proper requirements then it will not land on the target. This means that when you drop the container you will measure the displacement to determine whether your airdrop landed on the target or not. When analyzing forces you see that they relate to the real world. Evidence from the egg drop shows that gravity and air resistance are forces that acting upon an object. This can determine how fast or slow the objects falls. In other words knowing how a force will act upon an object will produce a successful outcome.
