Egg Protection

During our 2nd launch of our rockets we used percaution when it came to protecting the egg.
In order to make sure the egg does not break we needed to increase the time of the impulse. Impulse is the force it takes to stop an object in motion. If you increase the time it takes to stop the object the less force acts on it. Because of this "smaller force" the egg survives.
In order to create this longer period of time we surrounded the egg by cotton balls.
