Re: Egg drop Contest- Help Please!!

yea. i guess usingvx and such outta the top of my head when im tired wasnt a good idea. well the plan was that you can roll away. see, if you jump off a roof, theres 2 ways to do it. one is hang off the ledge as low as you can go and then bend your knees as you impact trying to gain time to reduce force. the other would be running as fast as you can sidewways off the roof and then rolling once you hit ground. techinically if its a person you'd also be cushioning yourself but think. a car dropped straight down will not survive but if you have a high enough Vx and the impact has little friction then the car will roll away. even if the Vy at the impact is the same the force is deflected i guess? bad wording sorry. but that was what i was going for

or you can do the glider i dea as sumone said
