Reflection On Egg From Cracking

1260 Words6 Pages

The challenge as I interpreted was to create an apparatus that could withstrain a raw egg from cracking. The thought process for the challenge was very simple, to be able to withstrain the egg from cracking. Luckily for me I have had experience doing this project successfully but the first egg drop challenge that I experienced took me a long time. It was a sleeping bag that had a box that had a parachute attached with a jar of peanut butter with the egg inside. So, my initial design would technically be the same as I suggested to myself but I wanted to do something that was simple and effective. During my first test I remembered one of my friends using popcorn in a big cardboard box. I wondered how this worked so I decided to try out this specific design in a smaller more effective way and it worked. My motto of “Simple but effective” came into life and as I created the apparatus the first initial trials were done successfully and proved that my egg wouldn’t brake. The materials I used to create my apparatus: Cardboard Box Popcorn Rice Paper Scissors Tape Glue Egg My initial designed had many flaws but …show more content…

The law of action reaction. The action of the object was at rest while it was in my palm but when I released the object it’s reaction to that initial action was it being pushed down by gravity because there was no force being pushed up against it. The action of releasing the object was letting the force of gravity pull it downwards while I held it up putting force back but when I released the object free falled towards the ground as a reaction to my holding of the the object the force I applied to hold it up was released and the equal and opposite force of my object free falls downwards. But instead the same force that was holding up was now being forced on it downwards which the object accelerate rapidly downwards because how I let go of my

The result of the force acting causes the object 's velocity to either change speed or direction. In conclusion, the impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object, which can be seen in equation Ft = m Δ

While looking back to Part VI in the book and reviewing the essays, I have learned a lot about the life experiences from different kinds of people and how their background influenced their life. The unique stories in this part were all really eye-opening and interesting to read, because you might not knew or noticed what was happening back in the days. People simply do not pay attention to the different lifestyle other individuals might have, they might be ignorant or they don’t understand their lifestyle including their life experiences. A great example is the essay from Mary Brave Bird’s and Richard Erdoes “Civilize Them With A Stick”. Here the author Mary Brave Bird is talking about how her family’s and her own life experience as a Native American was.

Also, the pictures above show how the egg changed from being tight and solid to being flexible. The observations also say that the egg felt like a water balloon and was full of water inside. Overall, the egg greatly shrunk in size. Finally, when the egg was placed in corn syrup, it floated on the surface of the solution. This was because the egg floated in solutions hypertonic to its inside.

The eggs were placed in the solutions, charting the change in weight after 15, 30 and 45 minutes; handling the eggs carefully each time and wiping off any excess water to avoid a misread by the scale. It is necessary to remove the egg and weigh individually each time to get the most accurate results. After the experiment was done, the eggs were placed back in their containers and the solution discarded of. It is imperative not to put the solution back in the containers.

Before reading “Nickel and Dimed: On (NOT) Getting by in America”, my perception of blue collar Americans is much different. I had figured that blue collared workers in lower paying jobs were not very hard working people, and that they still made enough money to have decent living conditions. Before reading Nickel and Dimed I thought that if you had a job and were not making enough to get by that you were probably a lazy person. Reading Nickel and Dimed really opened my eyes to the quality of life workers in these jobs have made me realize that you can be employed at a Walmart or as a hotel maid like Barbara Ehrenreich was and still be living in poverty. I learned pretty early into Nickel and Dimed that only having one job at this level of jobs

I learned about Occidental from my family, my cousin Brian Smith is the offensive coordinator for Oxy's football team and his wife Liane Smith works for Oxy as well. When I visited Oxy I was able to experience the school for what it really is, an amazing community. Everyone I talked to, students and staff, were very friendly and made me feel right at home. I was able to attend the homecoming barbecue and football game and it really left me with a great feeling about the school. My main interest in Occidental is that it is a liberal arts school.

Nickel and Dimed, written by Barbara Ehrenreich goes in depth of workers that have minimum wage jobs and are trying to survive in the U.S economy. Ehrenreich’s goes incognito trying to work in low-end jobs. Experiencing the hardships that many Americans face, Ehrenreich learns that money is not equal to the work and grief put in. Everywhere in the novel, Ehrenreich expresses that owners of corporations keep the workers down. As quoted, “…everyone knows they have crossed over to the other side, which is, crudely put, corporate as opposed to human" (Ehrenreich, 22).

INTRODUCTION The goal of this group project was to design and build an original paper model marble roller coaster that must be able to transport a marble from start to finish without interruptions. The design had to be unique and thrilling but safe; and the marble must come to a complete stop at the end of the roller coaster. The track should have the following components: at least two hills, one loop and one turn, and if possible a jump.

Where we had to make a shield around the egg to prevent it from cracking. As Adrianne and I did the project together I noticed how uninterested she was in the work. The project was a large part of our final grade and I was determined to get a high score, but apparently, she didn’t care much about what the final grade would be and did very little.

Newton’s Third Law: - ‘For every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction’ - (Hall, 2015). If an object (Object A) exerts a force onto another object (Object B), Object B will exert the same force back, just in the opposite direction. A finger is exerting a force on to the wall. According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, the wall should be exerting the same amount of force, just in the opposite direction, to the finger.

I’ve never been very interested in fashion and I’m not a fan of constantly updating my wardrobe. Seeing the major effects that the fashion industry has makes me feel better about falling behind in the fashion world. I watched China Blue, a documentary about the poor working conditions in Chinese factories that produced denim products, for my International Management course as an undergraduate student. That documentary impacted me, and I often think of the people that were highlighted in that film. I feel as if The True Cost will be a documentary that I think of from time to time as well.
