    Progress report
    Excellent job. You have made it clear what you intend to do in the experiment.

    Poor Albert is going to have a very sore head!

    Think about what forces are acting on the egg.

    You may also want to think about how much the cushioning helps Albert. Does Albert need a less fortunate friend who doesn't get any padding to compare outcomes?

    hello
    Hey everyone!
    You are looking at the wiki
    "Lotte's falafel forces"
    it's new, so there isn't much that's here yet,
    but there

    this is my wiki, lottefalafel forces.
    here you
    will be soon,learn about the force of GRAVITY
    it's named falafel forces because that is
    gravity, as i form an experiment to drop an innocent egg from a height of
    1.0m
    1.5m
    2.0m
    and if
    the first thing that came into
    my head this morning.
    ==
    egg (called Albert)
    is still intact, I will continue to drop it from greater heights until Albert dies.
