ANSWER:
Work
Movement
1/2*m*v^2
Velocity
Weight.
Mass
Gravity
Explanation:
Energy is the ability to cause work .
Your goal is to avoid change to the structure of the egg. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
In order to save your egg, you will need to lower the kinetic energy of the egg just before the egg strikes the ground. The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2*m*v^2. You can’t change the mass, so you must try to adjust the velocity. How can we do this?
Think about forces we studied in our first unit. The force that can lower the velocity of a falling object is weight. The two factors that affect this force are mass and gravity.
