The plastic bag that we used was supposed to be our parachute that would increase the time it would take for the egg to hit the ground. The increased amount of time would lower the speed which leads to lowering the amount of kinetic energy and the amount of force that hits the ground. During the actual egg drop, the parachute didn’t even open and had no actual effect on the kinetic energy, but the parachute did allow the toilet paper to land vertically and this helped to protect the egg better for we had placed the egg at the top of the toilet paper close to
