I tried this when I was a kid. I live in an area that gets 100+ in the summer so I fried an egg on the cement one afternoon. Dirt doesn't work because it doesn't hold the heat the same way. That is one reason when an area is covered over with streets and sidewalks it gets hotter.

A sound made when an egg hits the ground?

The sound is called a "cluck" (clucking). "The chickens clucked happily as they pecked at their food." In English, the onomatopoeia is cluck and the sound may be indicated by either "cluck cluck" or "buck buck" (buc buc). Other variants include "bok bagok" and "puckuck."


Will a hot egg crack more than a cold egg?

Yes, a hot egg is more likely to crack than a cold egg when placed in boiling water because of the sudden temperature change. The thermal expansion in the hot egg causes stress on its shell, making it more susceptible to cracking.


What is the application of Newton's third law of motion in the context of eggs?

When an egg is dropped, Newton's third law of motion states that the force of the egg hitting the ground is equal and opposite to the force the ground exerts on the egg. This can help explain why the egg breaks upon impact with the ground.


What would be five qualitative observations for an egg drop project?

The egg cracked upon impact with the ground. The egg remained intact due to the protective cushioning around it. The egg bounced upon landing. The egg did not break but the container holding it shattered. The egg broke into multiple pieces upon hitting the ground.


Why doesn't an egg crack when dropped in a bucket of water?

An egg doesn't crack when dropped in water because the force exerted on the egg is spread out on all sides evenly, reducing the impact on any one area. Additionally, the water provides a cushioning effect that helps absorb some of the force.
