Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a video demonstrating how to distinguish between a raw and a boiled egg through spinning. One participant critiques the reliability of the method shown in the video, suggesting a more effective technique involves briefly halting the spin to observe the fluid dynamics inside a raw egg. Concerns are raised about the safety of the video link, with one user reporting that it crashed their computer. Despite the warnings, another user confirms the link works for them. The conversation highlights skepticism about the original post's intent and the potential risks associated with the shared link.

Speed and duration of spin? That looks pretty unreliable.. a better way is to spin the egg then briefly halt it's motion. The raw egg will resume its spin, because the fluid inside has not stopped.
 
Actually I knew about this, raw eggs are MUCH harder to keep spinning at a high rate.
 
Warning, clicking the link crashed my computer just now. Wonder what would motivate someone to join a forum just to make one post, about a link that crashes people's computers...
 
Link works for me...
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
