Question

Raul designs a device to protect a raw egg from cracking when dropped from different heights. He wants his device to be as lightweight as possible while safely from a 3-meter distance. Raul builds a device that has foam and aluminum on the outside and then tests his device. His initial prototype is made of one layer of aluminum foil and a 2 cm thick layer of soft foam.
His hypothesis was: If I throw an egg covered with 2 cm foam and 1 layer of aluminum foil from a three-meter distance, then the egg will not break because energy will be transferred but stopped by these materials.

What conclusion would he get from the experiment? Explain your answer. Was his hypothesis correct or wrong? Explain your answer Explain one way in which Raul can improve the design of his prototype using what you have learned about transferring potential and kinetic energy to conduct another round of tests

Answer 1

Rahul's hypothesis was proved wrong after the experiment.

What is a hypothesis?

A research hypothesis is a statement of expectation or prediction that will be tested by research.

According to the experiment table up to 2 m height, the egg is safe, but after at 3 m height, his hypothesis went wrong.

Hence, we can say that without an experiment, a hypothesis can't be proved true.
