Hey guys I'm back with another installment of my blog.  This time I want to talk to you about egg dropping.  So, did you ever talk to your friends and go, how do I make an egg drop from a certain height without making it break.  So i have prepared a picture that I drew on my awesome Wacom tablet, of a person dropping an egg of a ledge.  You can easily find the velocity of a single egg by using various equasions.  We are going to say that this ledge is about 10 meters.  But to save space I solved for it already and got about 14 m/s.  Using this, we can solve for momentum and find out how much we need to slow it down, in order for it not to crack.  Anyways, I really haven't fully mastered it so I cannot say for sure that I know what I am doing, anyways, hope you enjoyed it.  I basically showed you the steps on how to not crack it, but it's really up to you to be creative in finding new and different ways.  So have fun and always be creative.
