1. SLOW THE SPEED AT WHICH THE EGG FALLS
Gravity is a force which tries to pull two objects toward each other. Earth’s gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall. Your egg or chosen payload will be pulled to the ground by gravity.
Weight (mass x gravity) is the force of gravity pulling the mass of the egg in a downward direction- toward the center of the earth.
Drag is the force created between the Lander that you build and the air. This force acts opposite to the direction of motion and can help slow down your egg. Try different shapes, materials and sizes of Landers to see which creates the most drag. See this video to learn more about air and drag.
