Egg Drop

1. The document discusses Newton's Laws of Motion and how they relate to vehicle safety features like crumple zones. 2. It describes an "Egg Drop" device called the "Big Mama" that has several safety features to protect an egg during impact, drawing connections to concepts like impulse and momentum. 3. The key features discussed are airbags, a seatbelt system, crumple zones on the top and bottom, and head and shoulder restraints, all working together based on Newton's Laws to cushion impact and prevent the egg from cracking on landing.

Rear CrumpleZone
This works as a crumple the same way the f ront
crumple zone works. It would work well with a weight
as it crumples with f orce applied to it. This will
protect the car as it takes all the impact . It will take
the brunt of the hit and protect the egg and car.
