It is not the speed that breaks the egg. Rather, it is the force exerted on the egg due to acceleration when the egg hits some other object. An egg will break at a very low acceleration.

Would a raw egg or a cooked egg break faster if you dropped the egg?

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'.


Does a egg break if you drop it from the roof of a castle?

It depends. There are contests in egg dropping, to see how far an egg can be dropped or thrown. The dropping contest is a study in packaging the egg for the drop. So, if the egg is properly packaged, or dropped into, say, a haystack, it very well may survive the experience!

What causes the egg to split?

Gravity is what makes an egg break when dropped from a certain height because when you drop the egg gravity is what makes the egg increase its speed (acceleration) after the egg has reached a terminal velocity (stays the same speed while air born) it is stopped by the ground in less than a second. the energy that was gained because of mass and velocity is adsorb by the ground from the egg which instantly breaks the egg shell. to keep the egg from breaking you could put a protective package around it which would lessen the impact of the egg shell. the energy would be adsorb from something else, which would save the egg.


Would an egg break when dropped on a couch?

No, it will not break because the couch absorbs the speed of the egg dropping, causing the egg not to break. And now I tell you of a show called, "You Asked For It." A man stood on a (?two story) building and dropped a raw egg onto the ground-level parking lot. The egg bounced into another man's hand (2 or 3 feet bounce)! Then the man in the parking lot said, "You don't belive that this is a raw egg?" He turned his hand over, dropping the egg, which broke. (This was before the days when special effects were used to lie -- to amaze -- people; B&W TV show.)
