PLEASE HELP! In my math class, we are doing an experiment where we drop an egg from a 3 stories building. We have to keep the egg from breaking, or else we get a 0. I need help calculating. The time of my egg when it got drop in the ground was 1.69

lol try peanut butter like cece from shake it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

distance x speed=time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there another formula that I suppose to use or i just use distance x speed=time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is it you need help calculating? Distance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help how to start calculating. My teacher said calculate mass of egg, distance moved by egg when decelerating, and distance of free-fall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, no problem. Mass, I assume, you can handle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distance moved by egg when decelerating, I'm not sure what your teacher is looking for. The egg will accelerate during free fall, with the only deceleration occurring when it hits the ground. Usually, that is considered instantaneous, for ease of calculations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distance of free fall is defined as: \[d = \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}\] also written \[d = \frac{gt^{2}}{2}\] Are you familiar with either of those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V=? S= T= V= V= V= (B) F=? M= A= F= F= F= My teacher said to use this but I don't what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What force from the ground will be applied to the egg causing it to crack. The speed before the egg hits the ground will become the initial velocity before the egg stops.
