Egg Baseball

  1. The baseball bat is used as a lever to achieve more force when hitting the egg. The egg is thrown in the air and when the baseball bat makes contact with the egg bat crushes the egg without loosing much speed due to its small mass and lack of velocity.

  2. This is physics because the bat has more energy than the egg and a greater force. When the bat strikes the egg it causes the egg to burst and explode because the egg has nowhere to place the bats energy.

  3. the egg was smashed due to the higher force from the bat making contact with it. since the bat had the greater force it went threw the egg while the egg splattered around it.

  4. The egg baseball experiment showed that gravity is always in effect because when the bat struck the egg the yoke fell straight down. Also when the egg was hit the bats kinetic energy was so much greater than the egg the egg shattered into tiny little pieces. Also in the picture it looks like when the bat came through the strike zone on impact from the ball (egg) the bat bent back. The last thing is Charlie struck the ball when its potential energy was at the highest causing this to be Charlie’s homerun ball.

  5. The force in which the egg was thrown was inferior to the force that I enacted onto the egg when I hit it. The egg's shell had a relatively weak mass to boot, and as it shattered, the yolk and its slimy interior expanded from the shell, sending little globs of slime across the pavement, and into Christian's hair.

  6. The egg was tossed in the air then swung at with a bat, due to the bat and the persons momentum and velocity he was able to break the egg and cause it to “burst” one could say. As shown in this picture the bat had continued through the egg with little resistance meaning that its velocity and mass or weight was much greater than the eggs.

  7. When the bat hit the egg its mass was greater so the eggs shell broke and the yolk fell straight down. Since the eggs shell is so fragile, any amount of force from the bat would have broken the egg.

  8. After the bat, with a much greater force, came into contact with the egg, the egg shattered. This happened because the bat had a significantly greater mass than the egg. Also, the shell had almost no capability of absorption of the impact due to its weakness because of its thinness.

  9. Again, the much larger force of a baseball bat proves to be too much for really any other object. The thin membrane or shell of the egg is shattered by the vast force if baseball bat swung by the powerful Charlie. This is the transfer of energy, but it seems insignificant as the egg puts up little fight.

  10. You can see here that the egg shell did the same thing that the lightbulb did but here you can see that the inside of the egg, the yoke, stayed mostly intact because the shell to the brunt of the force from impact. The bat hit the shell and started transferring the energy from the bat to the egg as soon as it touches. This allowed the yoke to stay more or less together after the shell shattered.

  11. When a baseball bat being swung with a large force meets an egg with a frail shell it burst. The large mass of the bat with a large force meets a small massed egg the egg will loose it shape. The insides of the egg are flung all over due to the transfer of forces. The forces have no where else to go.
