Across
  1. 1. Energy of motion that builds as the egg falls toward the ground
  2. 5. A sacrificial structure designed to absorb energy so the payload does not have to
  3. 6. The protected cargo inside your device — in this challenge, the raw egg
  4. 9. The constant downward force that accelerates a falling egg at 9.8 m/s²
  5. 12. The strongest geometric shape, recommended for building lightweight rigid straw cages
  6. 13. The quantity that changes during a collision, found in the impact equation
  7. 14. The top speed reached when drag force equals the force of gravity
  8. 15. The stored energy an egg has before it is dropped from height
Down
  1. 2. The physics concept showing that increasing impact time reduces the force on the egg
  2. 3. The balance point of your device — keeping it low creates a stable, upright fall
  3. 4. A design strategy where the egg is isolated in the center of a rigid frame
  4. 7. The upward air resistance force that opposes gravity during a fall
  5. 8. A design strategy that increases surface area to maximize drag and slow descent
  6. 10. A strategy using soft materials that compress slowly to absorb shock on impact
  7. 11. The test model you build and refine during the construction phase
