    Spinning a bucket of water in a vertical circle - Inertia

    Homework Statement: How or why does inertia caused the water in a bucket not to fall out when spinning in a vertical circle. Homework Equations: Is the bucket catching the water? I know Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity.

    High School How does inertia cause the water to stay in the bucket

    The bucket has a tangential velocity so if i cut the rope attached to the bucket (this is the radius) it would fly off in what ever the tangential direction was. I am confused? So the water is moving with the bucket in a uniform circular motion but when the rope is cut the water will fall out in...

    High School How does inertia cause the water to stay in the bucket

    Homework Statement: How or why does inertia cause the water to stay in the bucket while spinning it vertically? I know inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in a state of uniform motion, but I am not exactly sure how it causes the water to stay in the bucket while it is...
