Water falling out of an upturned bottle.

[rollcast]

Homework Statement

A bottle is filled with water and turned over so it is 90° to the horizontal, the cap is then removed and the water will pour out.

At what rate will the water accelerate? (Ignore friction with air)
A. Less than g
B. equal to g
C. more than g

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I think it should be C as the water is being forced out of a smaller opening so it should have some acceleration caused by the pressure and therefore it will be greater than g?

The answer is B in the back of the test paper?

See this video. The water does not pour out without pressing or shaking the bottle. Is not the acceleration zero?

the fall of any matter connot exceed G unless you use a propelant. The bottle empties of water at the standard rate and unless its magic it fills with air. so here's the trick where are you conducting the experiment...I ask this because waters Characteristics change dramaticly in different locations...gravity will always be constant regarding the mass that's falling!
