"Egg Drop Analysis"

The egg wanted to stay in place because it was resting on the paper towel roll, but when we hit the pie tin the egg wanted to stay in place. So once we hit the pie tin the paper towel roll moved out of the way and the egg fell the water because of gravity. The egg had the resistance to move, because of Inertia. It had the most mass out of the paper towel roll, and the pie tin. When we hit the pie tin the bottom slid across the top of the water and it hit the bottom of the paper towel roll and so the result the egg moved out of the way so gravity pulled it down into the water. It was really to Newtons 1st Law because we applied a force to the pie tin and that created friction ,then gravity pulled the egg down.
