A prominent force that affected the egg drop experiment is gravity. Gravity is a force that exists between the Earth and objects near it. Gravity pulls all objects towards the center of the earth therefore pulling everything downward. In regards to the experiment gravity causes the egg to fall. Throughout this experiment gravity will also cause the egg to accelerate, acceleration is the rate at which an object speeds up or slows down. Other things such as air resistance and mass will also affect the acceleration of the egg. As an egg is dropped the gravitational pull is what causes the egg not to float but rather fall straight to the ground. Furthermore gravity amongst other forces have the ability to prevent an egg from cracking upon
