Why does a raw egg have more inertia than boiled egg?

* Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. It's directly related to an object's mass.

* Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

While the *consistency* of a raw egg and a boiled egg are different, the total amount of matter (and therefore their mass) remains the same.

What you might be thinking about:

* Rotation: A raw egg spins easily because the liquid yolk and white can move freely. A boiled egg is more difficult to spin because the yolk and white are solid. This difference in spinning ability is related to the distribution of mass within the egg, not its overall inertia.

* Momentum: A raw egg will likely have a different momentum when thrown than a boiled egg. This is because momentum is calculated by mass * velocity, and the raw egg's liquid interior might cause it to tumble and change velocity more easily.

Key takeaway: Inertia is solely determined by mass. A raw egg and a boiled egg have the same mass and therefore the same inertia.
