Apassenger in a car is holding an open water bottle when the car stops suddenly. why does the water in the bottle splash out when the car stops? it is in static equilibrium. it has less friction. it has inertia. it loses gravity when in motion.

it has intertia. this is correct on edge nuity

the correct answer to the question is it has inertia.

explanation:

the splashing of water in the bottle can be explained in terms of inertia of motion.

from newton's first law of motion, we know that a body moving with uniform velocity along a straight line will keep on moving with the same velocity along that line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced force. it is known as inertia of motion.

as per the question, the passenger is in the moving car. the open water bottle has the same velocity as that of passenger as he is holding the bottle.

when the car stops, the passenger will move in forward direction due to the inertia of motion. same also happens in case of water present in the bottle. the water splashed out as its inertia of motion is destroyed .

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.
