Egg drop Analysis 

     We got some water into a container with a foil/pan and then a toilet paper roll and an egg on top, and then we were supposed to flip it. The egg will probably sit in the air for a second, because of Newton’s lazy law. Inertia- Resistance to change in motion. More mass= more inertia. The egg has to do with inertia.

     We thought that if you don’t hit it right it won’t work. You have to hit it straight not up. Putting two toilet paper rolls and then an egg on top works also. It stays in the air a little longer. just a little bit. The egg barely made it in the water. 

      Two toilet paper rolls side by side and an egg on the top of each on works two. Four rolls of toilet paper side by side and an egg on each one kind of works. it was close. We tried it a second time and it still didn’t work. We found at the end that hitting the pan downwards, works two. 

The egg had more mass which means it had more inertia which made it stay there. Gravity is what made it fall into the water.
