this has been tried many times but has never been revealed the answer is that they are about the same the hard boiled egg came in .23 seconds faster than the raw egg this has to do with newtons third law of motion (every action has an equal and opposite reaction)the weight of the hard boiled egg keeps the center of gravity closer to the ground thus pulling the egg down the hill where as the raw egg has the albumen and yolk pushing the side of the egg downwards thus making it roll downwards a margin of a second slower than the boiled egg.
No reason at all, and I think this is one urban legend that would be easy to bust
if you just try it. Take one of each up in a tall building, drop them together, and
have your assistant on the ground describe what he observes. My prediction is
that they arrive together, and they 'splat' simultaneously.
A Possible Scenario:
Eggs are ovate (not exactly circular). Now, think of an egg as a bullet. If a bullet starts to tumble end-over-end it is slowed down due to increased wind resistance.
Take a boiled egg and spin it on a flat surface. It spins easily because its entire mass is moving together. Now take a raw egg and spin it on that same flat surface. It does not spin as well because the mass of the liquid center is trying to stay at rest. (see Sir Issac for more on that)
The raw egg will try to resist tumbling more than the boiled egg, so the raw egg will tend to maintain a more stable flight path through the air.
...or maybe the raw eggs have a "go faster" coating that comes off when boiled. ;)
you get crapet
Both hard n raw eggs
No it does not have to be raw or boiled fo rthe egg to float!
A raw egg would break 'faster' but it depeneds on what you mean by faster. If you mean it would break easier then yes, it would be a raw egg. This is because a cooked egg's calcium shell has become harder, thus the term 'hard boiled egg'.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. A hard boiled egg will spin faster and roll farther, if that's what you mean.
Then same size as the raw egg that was boiled.
The raw egg has fluid inside and it wobbles when you spin it but a boiled egg is solid and it doesn't wobble so much as the raw egg
a raw egg because it has more mass than a rock otherwise it really depends on the size or how big the rock is
I belive that would be the egg itself being the dependent variable.
A good egg drop project could be to see which type of egg falls the quickest (raw egg, boiled egg, and roughly boiled egg which is not quite boile nor raw). Then go onto a high structure, and time how long it takes for each egg to fall. By the way you'll need a partner for the experiment.
A raw egg is not more dense than a boiled egg.
boiled eggs bounce better than raw eggs because the raw egg has a thinner membrane than that of a boiled egg making it easier to break
