Dr. Tatiana's Fascinating Experiment: How Water Defies Gravity!

In a captivating demonstration, Dr. Tatiana takes science enthusiasts on a journey to understand how water can seemingly defy gravity. This fun and educational video reveals the secret behind water staying put in a swirling beaker, a phenomenon explained by the forces of inertia.

When water is spun in a rotating beaker, it’s not gravity holding it in place but rather inertia. Dr. Tatiana compares this to the sensation one feels on a merry-go-round or in a turning car, where the inertia pulls objects away from the center and towards the bottom. The same principle applies to the water in the beaker, keeping it from spilling even when the beaker is turned upside down.

Dr. Tatiana invites viewers to try this experiment themselves—preferably outside to avoid any mess that might upset parents! This DIY physics demonstration is not only a great way to learn about inertia but also a fun activity to spark an interest in science.

For those curious about the exact speed needed to rotate the water without spilling, Dr. Tatiana encourages joining her class to dive deeper into the topic.

Experience the wonder of this gravity-defying experiment and gain a new appreciation for the forces at play in our everyday lives. Watch Dr. Tatiana's full demonstration in the video linked below and discover the intriguing world of physics.
