• Your materials weigh less than 200 grams.
• Your materials weigh less than 150 grams.
• Your materials weigh less than 100 grams.
• Your materials weigh less than 50 grams.

Material Size:

Our model can fit inside an Altoids box because a large piece of tin foil is very thin and can be fold many times into a thick small shape.

Arithmetic:
115.9g (model with egg) - 67.0g (egg)= 48.9g (model)

Algebra:
Vf ^2 = Vi ^2 + 2ad
Vf = ?
Vi = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s^2
d = 4.37 m
Vf ^2 = Vi ^2 + 2ad
Vf ^2 = 0 + 2(-9.8)(4.37)
Vf ^2 = Vi ^2 + 2ad
Vf  = 9.255 m/s

Geometry:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 4.37 m
b = 0.5 m
4.37^2 + 0.5^2 = square root of 19.3469
c = 4.40 m
