Egg Capsule Structure and Larval development of Conus Biliosus.

Breeding season, spawn, egg capsule morphology, egg dimension and number, pre-hatching
development, characteristics and behavior of hatched veliger larvae of Conus biliosus (Röding)
and C. coronatus Gmelin from Pakistan (northern Arabian Sea) were studied. C. biliosus spawns
1192 ± 165 eggs/capsule (egg diameter 172 ± 10.5 µm, incubation period 11 ± 0.5 days at
about 32°C, veliger shell length at hatching 250 ± 18.5 µm). Conus coronatus produces 1472
±300 eggs/capsule (egg diameter 152 ± 9.49 µm, incubation period 10 ± 0.55 days at about
32°C, veliger shell length at hatching 207±4.0µm). The average egg diameter of both species
falls in the modal size class of Conus with smaller eggs. Both species exhibit planktotrophic
development characteristic of all Conus with a large number of small eggs. No nurseeggs were
observed; all the eggs in a capsule developed into veligers. Cleavage is holoblastic, with the first
two divisions equal, but the third unequal. The larvae were maintained in antibiotic Polymixin B
(25 ppm) sea water and fed with an algal diet of Chlamydomonas and Navicula (1: 1).

Restrictions while Doing Initial Works On coating The Egg with Straws.

1) Take a straw (the big plastic kind are the best) and wrap it around the egg's equator. Try
hard not to kink the straw more than five times. You want the straw to be fully expanded
where it touches the egg. It acts as a cushion.

2) Do the same thing from the "north pole to the south pole" of the egg. and where the
equator straw and the polar straw intersect, try to push the polar straw through a kinked
area. Tape both in place

3) Using more straws, make a flat matt of straws on the table and tape them together.
Using this flat matt, wrap this around the equator of the egg, taping it to the equator
straw in the begining and onto itself at the end.

4) Using tape bring the straws at the top (north pole) together and tape into a bundle and
then the same for the other end.

What you should have is a long fat torpedo looking package.

When you drop it, hold one end and drop it vertically so that it hits the pointy end. This
should move the energy of the drop around the egg and protect it.
Egg Experiment Fomulative by Impulsive And Momentum Forces

We started by getting an egg. Then, we tested eggs by

dropping them onto a hard surface from specific height to see what

was the maximum height from which an egg could survive a fall without

cracking. If you know that height, then you know how fast the egg is

going when it hits. If you know the mass of the egg, then you can

also figure out the force exerted on the egg when it hits. The

object of the cushioning is to spread out the deceleration

of the egg over such a long period (as the cushioning compresses)

that the egg never sees a deceleration (and hence, point force)

high enough to crack the egg. You can do this without equations by

just testing. After you've tested the "naked" egg, cushion it with one inch of

uncompressed foam rubber and do the test again. From how high can

you drop it and it still survives? Then go to two inches, three

inches, etc. Plot it on a graph and see if you can extrapolate it to

higher heights.

Obviously, the egg, wrapped in foam, will eventually achieve a

terminal velocity due to air drag as you drop it from successively

higher heights. Can you find a way to figure out what that speed

is? (the answer is, yes. It's a function of the cross-sectional

area of the blob and its overall mass, plus the "slickness" of the

object. The less aerodynamic and less dense, the slower the terminal

velocity. Skydivers have a terminal velocity of about 120 mph.)

 “A shock absorber allows a force acting on an object to act in a long period of time. This

reduces the force of impact: the longer the period of time a force acts on an object, the

smaller the force. If you have ever been in a raw egg tossing contest, you know that in

order for the egg not to crack when you catch it, you "give" with the egg. Another

example, if you are out of control with your car, don't drive it into a concrete wall,

instead a stack of hay is much better (that is, if you had that choice!). Boxers roll with

the punch in order to reduce the force of impact. The stack of hay and "giving" with the

egg are both shock absorbers of sorts. They increase the length of time a force acts

thus decreasing the force.”

“In discussing the egg experiment,

IMPULSE = Force X change in Time = mass X change in Velocity = change in MOMENTUM

since an egg dropped from a given height has a given mass and a velocity that

can be calculated using K.E. = P.E. or 5 mass*velocity*velocity =

mass*g*height canceling the mass's and solving for velocity gives velocity =

the square root of (2*32 ft per second [or 9.8 m per sec] * height/mass)

then the whole experiment is to show that if you increase the time of impact

you will reduce the force on the egg thus not breaking it. Thus the key word is

impulse, and the key idea is that as you increase the time of impact, you decrease the force on the egg.
The Factors Of Impulse And Momentum

Momentum is m*v (mass times velocity). For example, when you have a large truck
and a small car traveling at the same speed the large truck is harder to stop because it
has a bigger mass, and therefore a bigger momentum. Both vehicles are going at the
same speed but the truck has the bigger mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an
object. Velocity is the speed together with direction of motion.

Impulse is a change is momentum. For example, if the momentum of an object

changes that means that the mass or velocity must have changed. If the mass is
unchanged, as it is most often, then velocity has changed and acceleration has
occured. Force produces acceleration, so the greater the force acting on an object, the
greater its change in velocity and the greater the change in momentum. The greater
the net force acting upon an object, the greater the impulse. Impulse is also defined as
force of impact times time of impact.
What is force of impact?
Force
of impact is the amount of force with which something hits something else. In other
words it is the amount of force that the object is acted upon. It is the force that
something hits or is hit with.

What is time of impact?

Time of impact is the time that it takes something experience the force of impact.

Driving and Impulse/ Momentum:

If two cars with different masses crash head on into each other at
identical speeds, the car with less mass will probably suffer more
damage than the car with more mass. The car with the smaller mass is
unable to withstand the impact of the car with the greater mass because
the car with more mass has more momentum. Momentum is mass times
velocity.

Airbags and crumple zones cannot change the impulse of an accident, however they
can help protect drivers and passengers. Airbags can protect the passengers and
drivers from abruptly hitting the windshield or dashboard and crumple zones protect
the drivers from a high force of impact. They both also decrease the force of impact by
increasing the time of impact.

Force of Impact and Time of Impact are also related to braking a car. The reason why a
hard slam on the brakes will be less comfortable than the soft slow pressure is because
if you slam on the breaks quickly, you will jerk forward as the car comes to a quick stop
--making a quick change in velocity. With a hard slam on the brakes Time of Impact is
shorter therfore increasing the of Force of Impact. Additionally, your body has a
tendency to resist a change in motion so when the car stops quickly your body is going
to continue to move forward unless you are wearing your seatbelt.
