Team X Status Report - Day 2

Air resistance is friction on an object as it is falling, which causes it to slow down. When we are doing our lander project, air resistance will be very important so that the parachute will slow down, and the impact on the floor won't be too hard. Our group planned to use styrofoam peanuts, and to elevate the egg a bit, to absorb the shock. So far we have made two parachutes and are almost done making the carrier. We have made two good parachutes, but they are very light. After we test the both of them we can add scraps of the bad one onto the good parachute to add weight and more air resistance.
