What falls faster a boiled or raw egg?

Answer 1

Boiled egg would spin faster than the raw egg. Raw egg while spinning will move from one place to another. This happens because the liquid within the egg splashes against its sides. Boiled egg will rotate at the same place because the content within the egg is solidified.

Answer 2

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.

--If you have about 2 cups of water, it'll take 3 tablespoons or so to make a raw egg float, whereas you'll need almost twice that to make the boiled egg float. For whatever reason, the boiled egg is more dense than the raw egg.

Answer 4

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. ;)

Answer 5

If you hold an uncooked egg and a boiled egg you will find that the cooked boiled egg is heavier, because of its mass. The cooked egg therefore will not roll as fast as an unboiled one.

Answer 6

the raw egg because the boiled egg is cooked and solid

Answer 7

a raw egg
