conflicting interpretations of the nature of the Meers fault. All studies of the fault -trenching (Crone & Luza, 1986), shallow seismic (Miller et al., 1982), magnetic profiles (Cecil-Jones, 1990) and coring (Collins, 1992)- indicate the fault is a reverse fault that dips steeply north into the. Anadarko basin.
Egg drop competition. A package designed to protect three eggs from a fall of ten meters is dropped by a physics teacher on a lift. The egg drop contest is an experiment usually performed by college or primary school students. Competitors typically attempt to create a device that can keep a raw chicken egg intact when dropped from a height.
In your experiments you could also try dropping the egg from different heights: 1 foot, 2 feet, 3 feet, etc. An egg dropped from a higher height has more energy because it is going faster. That means that the cushioning system has to absorb more energy if it is going to protect the egg from breaking.f you drop it from 8 feet, the speed is 22.6 feet per second. It will take a lot more padding to protect an egg falling that fast. When you think about how many packages are shipped each year (UPS, for example, handles over 3 billion packages per year) you realize how important padding systems like this can be.
