Egg Drop
Isaac Newton has three laws. First, every object in a state of uniform motion tends to
remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. Second, The relationship
between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration
and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this
law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector. And
Third For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
My egg drop mostly has to do with the first rule mostly. An object that is in motion tends
to stay in motion unless countered by an external force. Witch has to do with it because that is
basically just throwing the project up into the air of course acting as the item that is in motion,
then the object is countered by an external for and in this case its the ground. My design helps
the box absorb less shock by putting air bags on the sides of the box. This decreases the chances
of the egg breaking and increases the chances of even a decent grade.
The second rule also places a part in my project. The weight of my box is very light
compared to what it would be if I did something else. At least 40% of it is air and it has soft
material inside which also decreases the chances of the egg cracking. When the box falls it will
hit the ground softer because of how much it weighs.

The third rule doesnt have a gig part but it does happen to the object. When the object
falls it will hit the ground and bounce which is an equal reaction because its going up with force
but originally it was going down.
