Pre-lab questions 1. How does impulse momentum theorem apply to designing a cage to drop an egg in? 2. Initially , what strategies do you think you would work the best? 3. If I drop an unprotected egg, why does the egg break when it hits the ground? Do your best to use the physics terms you know to explain why Instructions Create a cage to prevent an egg from breaking when being dropped from a specific height using limited amounts of the following materials. Tape Stirring straws Drinking straws 1 Plastic bag . Rubber bands cotton balls Post lab questions 1. Which of the following best describes the success of your cage? a. Catastrophic failure b. The egg broke but only a little bit c. The egg did not break at all 2. If you marked a or b in question 1, what is something that you could have done better? If you marked c, what were one or two things you believe made your design successful? 3. Did you design work as you intended it/expected it to? As in, did the egg fall the way you planned? Explain. (This question has nothing to do with whether or not your design was successful) 4. Were there any parts of your design that were useless and did not contribute to protecting the egg? 5. How does the mass of your design affect the impulse felt by the egg? 6. Even if you were successful, what would you do differently next time? 7. Look up some designs on the internet. What strategies do you see that you did not have materials for or did not think of? 8. What design choices did you see that you believe would be ineffective? Explain
