Inertia Video Lab
For our inetria project, we filled a beaker with water. We then placed a paper arrow in the water and it floated at the top. We spun the beaker around. Surprisingly the arrow either stayed in the same place, or had a long delay before moving with the glass. This result is caused by the inertia and lack of friction between the water and the glass. The force of inertia causes the water to stay in place while the glass moves. The arrow just shows the movement of the water.
