When you boil an egg it turns into a solid. Isn't that kind of wierd?? I thought when you heated a liquid/semi-liquid it will turn into a gas. But on the other hand I get one of my fav. breakfast. HOW?

Alright, I am in Physics and my teacher is doing the typical egg dropping experiment BUT! we have rules 1. the volume of the container can be no bigger than 12in. by 12in. by 12in. 2. we can only use raw eggs, and the egg can't be drained 3. the container can't contain any fluids, or gels...

Homework Statement A hard-boiled egg of mass 51.0kg moves on the end of a spring with force constant 25.7N/m. Its initial displacement is 0.293m. A damping force f (x) = -bv (x) acts on the egg, and the amplitude of the motion decreases to 0.101m in a time of 4.55s. Calculate the...

Homework Statement You are on the roof of a physics building, which is 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant rate of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, how far from the building...

Hey Guys, I know that this has been posted before, but mine is slightly different. Our instructor only provides: 5 medium rubber bands 5 sheets of 8.5 X 11 paper 20 inches of scotch tape 20 inches of string We can only use the materials he provides us. Can you please give me...

Question on egg :) Mostly, when you heat a solid, it changes to anoher solid, or liquid, or gas. The only thing I have seen a liquid, when heated becomes solid is an egg. Can someone please explain the actual process that causes this?

Homework Statement Hey, I was wondering what the proper section to post this in, and if it is okay to post it: I have to do a project that goes something of this sort: Basically build a vehicle no more than an empty mass of of 50 +/- 5 grams, and drop it from a point of approximately...

I know there are already many threads on this topic but i could not find any that relate directly to my guidelines. I have to drop an egg from a height of about 40 ft., and i can only use cardboard and tape to protect it. The more it weighs, the lower my grade is, and the egg must be visible...

I have to do an egg drop lab (be able to drop an egg from 10m without it cracking) what should i use- toothpicks and glue for "controlled crushability". In other words, the egg would break the toothpicks when it lands so it would not crack. This sounds good but the problem is that the parameters...

Two students hold an open bed sheet loosely by its corners to form a "catching net." The instructor asks a third student to throw an egg into the middle of the sheet as hard as possible. Why doesn't the egg's shell break? does this have to do with momentum? inertia? Newtons laws? so far my...

yes, the famous egg drop experiment. i really need help with ideas on what to construct...i was thinking that i would put a small box cushioned inside with toilet paper or tissue paper and lined with folded(like an accordion) paper / inside a bigger...the problem is: • The over all dimensions...

Hey, I'm doing my science fair project on how much force can an egg withstand from one direction without cracking and i want to know if the color has anything to do with it. My mom says that she has heard that it is just the breed and i have looked up the question on the internet and it says...

A bit early for a culminating.. but here we are at the much overused "Build an Egg Launcher" project. The idea is to use surgical tubing (2ft) to launch an egg the farthest possible (the egg can crack, it doesn't matter). The only force allowed in this is the elastic force of the surgical tubing...

Homework Statement Im sure most of us have heard about and done an egg drop project sometime in our lives, and right now is the time to do mine. We will be dropping the egg that is inside of our project from the second story of a building, and then from the third story. We are allowed to...

I need an egg protector to go in a bottle rocket that is not metal, styrofoam, packing peanuts, or bubble wrap.

Hi This small video show you how to differentiate between a Raw and a Boiled egg in a very interesting manner ..enjoy http://www.metacafe.com/watch/809100/is_it_raw_or_boiled_enjoy_physics/ worthless link deleted Thank you

Hi I have a quick question for you, how do you get an egg into a bottle? I am finishing my teaching training and am researching misconceptions in science. One that particularly interests me is reported differently in textbooks and web sites etc. Allow me to set the scene: 1. Hard boiled...

I am trying to find out the temperature at the centre of egg at 5 to 7 Deg C, therefore I am solving conduction equation. I am treating egg as ellipsoid. An egg consists of shell, albumen and yolk. Can we represent egg with single entity for thermal analysis, ie. with equivalent thermal...

Im having some problems with this question. Some help would be nice. Thanks. An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the way down and passes a point a distance 50.0 m below its starting point at a time 5.00 s...

Anybody know a good way to stop the force from reaching or crushing an egg using poster board tape and balloons? I was thinking bout making a pyramid or rounded pyramid and making the tip heavier and then putting multiple layers of baloons and the egg at the farthest point from impact... Any ideas?

I missed a week of school last week, and came back to class to find that we have a naked egg drop project due tomorrow. I need to do the entire thing tonight. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a good naked egg drop platform (base the egg is dropped into). the egg will be dropped...

source:british physics olympiad 1993 :smile: it is said that it takes as long to boil one egg as it takes to boil two eggs. comment on the statement indicating the conditions under which it is valid? can someone give me the mathematical analysis of the problem?:biggrin:

Alright, so we were just assigned our ISUs for grade 12 physics, and I'm a bit confused as to what is the best design for my project. We are to build a 'device' that launches an egg over a 1 metre tall 'fence' that is 2 metres away. The egg must then go through an 'open window' that is...

Hi, i have a project I am currently working on for school and i have to design a freeway type barrier that can stop a truck and keep an egg from breaking inside the truck. Anyone got any ideas because everything I've tryed so far has been crappy. Here are the rules Each team shall construct a...

i need some help. i am supposed to design a vehicle that is powered only by one standard rubber band to transport an egg to the greatest possible horizontal displacement without breaking the egg. the vehicle can't have any rotating parts. must be constructed from basic parts (ie not...

i have to drop an egg from a balcony using any material but gravity slowing things. could some one help?

I have been confronted with a strange and vague, but oddly interesting assignment of creating a research paper on an egg through the perspective of a physics. Does anyone have any ideas as to what i can research online or in a book over the PHYSICS of an egg? Thanks

Dropping an egg without breaking... So I have to make a container no larger than 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. An egg has to be placed inside the container and dropped from a height of 20ft, and the object is for the egg to survive the fall and not break. This is a competition, and points are...

Yo guys, I need some help with this classical physics experiment. We can only use 1 piece 8" x 11" (computer paper) and 30 cm of masking tape. The goal is to get it not to break from 3m or higher. If anyone can help with any good strategies, thanks in advance.

hello, why is it nearly impossible to break an egg by its ends?

Biology Help ! Female cimpanzees often mate with more than one male. The different males' sperm cells race each other to reach the egg first. Both Modja and Tatu have mated with Tanu in the last hour. a) In which part of a sperm cell and an egg cell are the genes found? b) What do genes...

calculating breaking point of an egg ... A general engineering question, how would i go about calculating the breaking point of an egg. The shape is what really gets to me. Then there's calculating Ix and stuff. I need help, anyway of going my calculating the breaking stress of an egg (top to...

This is a one dimensional problem just in case anyone needlessly accounts for horizontal velocity. An egg is thrown upward from the edge of a building. The egg falls next to the edge (i.e., without hitting it) and after traveling down 50 more meters more, it has been 6 seconds since the egg...

I this lab project due tomorrow in physics. I was wondering if anyone has done this lab: I have to construct an apparatus out of only paper and masking tape that holds an egg, and then it will be dropped off the bleachers. I need to make it so the egg doesn't break]. Does anyone have any ideas...

Hallo... everyone... straight to the problem, ok! I'm now building an egg incubator box, sized 100cm cubic. And i provide its heat with a set (4 pieces) light bulb. And now, what i like to know is: Any equation or formula to determine how long it took to warm up the whole box? Thanks...

Ok here's the thing: I have the classic egg drop project, but am not sure how to get it to work, so here are the requirements/details: The egg is a gresh, raw, grade "A" egg, Egg cannot be completely encased within another material besides a zip-lock bag. Device the egg is in can't exceed the...

me and my friends are having an arguemnet. what is better for cooking an egg during the summer: on hot asphalt or on a sewer cap. EXAMPLE: you have a sewer cap and the surrounding asphalt. both have been sitting in the sun for the same amount of time. If you were to crack an egg on both...

What are the difference between the eggs we eat and the eggs that hatch a baby chicken? Is it possible to predict it just before a chicken lays one?

I'm convinced that either something similar to MWI, XOR something deterministic along the lines of Bohmian mechanics is more correct than the Copenhagen interpretation. So how do we choose between them? When I was little (around 13) I was convinced that if an egg was perfectly balanced on...

Hey, I have some homework questions and I'd appreciate some clarification. As a class we did an experiment where we put egg white into seven different test tubes, and then introduced seven different solutions, one to each test tube. The different solutions were weak & strong salt solutions...

Hi, I have a question on Newton's second law. I have a box in which an egg rests inside. Egg is surrounded by some sort of padding. A force is applied to the box. (Force has an x and -y component. Are my conclutions right? 1) Force act on the box, not on the egg. Applying Newton's...

Hello, Quick Q. What happens when 2 sperm fertilize the same egg? Obviously it's extremely rare due the sodium ion channel's ability to quickly change the electric potential across the egg's membrane, preventing polyspermy. But what would happen if two sperm nailed the egg at EXACTLY the...

My boyfriend's breath smells like rotten eggs within 10 minutes after brushing his teeth. Why? and how can he fix it?:cry:

is it true or not its supposed to be an urban legend that you can cook an egg with your cellphone. the same way that a microwave cooks an egg but a lot slower because of the power difference, 1500 to 3 (watts). i was wondering if the cell phone frequency was even high enough to be caught by...

"egg Scrambler" project I'm a senior in high school and have been assigned the following project. My partner and I are having a hard time getting our thoughts and ideas rolling on this one, any ideas would be MUCH appretiated!:redface: "Students will design and build a device that will...

what came first? organisms or consciousness? this argument is a little different than the "chicken or the egg" bit... we get around the "chicken or the egg" by recognizing evolution. but, let's go back a little farther... is consciousness a characterisitc of organisms? or are...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but will give it a shot. I am helping out my little sis this weekend as she has an egg launcher project for high school. There are weight and dimension limitations of course, and I'm not quite clear on other rules (when I took this class ~8...

First of all I would like to apologize if I am posting in the wrong forum. I couldn't really decide if this belonged in the general physics, homework, or engineering forums since it involves principles of physics, is technically an assignment, and also has to do with engineering. Anyways...

Hey, I need to design an egg crash landing device in order to protect an egg that is being dropped from various heights. The catch is I am only allowed to use 1 metre of masking tape and 10 sheets of computer paper. If anybody has done this experiment before or have any suggestions, I...
