If you throw a 'raw' egg and a hard boiled egg do they travel the same or does one go further?

Answer 1

Same distance, all other factors being the same (wind, force of throw, etc.). It's the friction that would slow one down over the other, and boiling an egg doesn't change the texture of the shell.

Answer 2

The boiled egg will go further. The raw egg is liquid inside and won't go as far. Also, you can spin a boiled egg on its end but you can't spin a raw egg. Have a friend try to spin a raw egg and then show him how easy it is by using a boiled egg. But don't tell him there's a difference.

Answer 3

The hard boiled egg would go further. This is because the liquid inside of the raw egg would affect its trajectory.

The principle is the same as the raw egg test - to find out whether an egg is cooked, spin it on a table - if it stops spinning very quickly, it's raw.

Answer 4

I think the hard boiled egg as it would have more density therefore more force to travel thru the air as opposed to the raw egg which has none therefore would fall sooner.

Answer 5

Well.....i didn't try this coz i was busy boiling the raw egg so that i can eat it.....that's the purpose of eggs right?...beside producing a chicks .

Answer 6

Come on dud definitely the boiled egg is heavier so it wouldn't go far as compared to the raw one which is lighter in weight.

Answer 7

well if you have a sling shot and fired both the hard boiled would go further.

Answer 8

If the weigh the same, then they would go the same distance all things equal.

If one weighed more, it would go further, due to its ability to go through the air with less resistence.
