I built a structure to protect an egg as we dropped it from increasing heights. Its last height was 3 m and it weighted .093 lbs. Can someone tell me how to calculate the final velocity? I don't know how to do this by ignoring time.

Fell 3 meters, ignoring air friction:
V = a T = 9.8 T
so T = V/9.8 where T is the time in the air
then distance
h= (1/2) a t^2
h = .5 (9.8)(V/9.8)^2
3 = .5 V^2/9.8
6*9.8 = V^2
7.67 m/s
