Is a boiled egg a rigid body?
Why does a rigid body, like a pawn, rotate?
Thank you!

Boiled eggs rotate because the egg white and yolk have solidified, creating a solid mass that is denser than the surrounding water. This difference in density causes the egg to rotate as it sinks to the bottom of the pot. Raw eggs, on the other hand, have a liquid yolk and uncooked egg white, making the entire egg less dense and unable to rotate.
The rotation of a boiled egg has no scientific significance and is simply a result of the difference in density between the egg and the surrounding water. It is a natural occurrence and does not affect the taste or nutritional value of the egg.
No, a raw egg cannot be made to rotate like a boiled egg. The rotation of a boiled egg is a result of the solidification of the egg white and yolk, which cannot be replicated in a raw egg. The only way to make a raw egg rotate would be to solidify the egg's contents through cooking.
No, there is no difference in the rotation of a boiled egg and a hard-boiled egg. Both types of eggs have been cooked, causing the egg white and yolk to solidify and create a denser mass, resulting in rotation. The term "hard-boiled" is simply used to differentiate between soft-boiled and fully cooked eggs.
No, the rotation of a boiled egg cannot be used to determine its level of doneness. While a fully cooked egg will rotate due to the solidification of its contents, the rotation does not indicate the level of doneness. The best way to determine the doneness of a boiled egg is by using a timer or testing the firmness of the yolk with a spoon.
