Question

Why at the highest point, water does not fall out of the bucket when rotated in a vertical circle?

Solution

Explanation:

  1. A centripetal force is any net force that causes uniform circular motion.
  2. Because of inertia, the water remains in the bucket. To make something move in a circle, you must apply force.
  3. The water's force on the bucket's bottom will be greater than gravity, so the water will stay in the bucket.
  4. The weight of the water, which could cause it to fall, is consumed in creating the required centripetal force, and the water does not fall.
  5. Because weight supplies the centripetal force, the water does not fall out of the bucket rotated in a vertical circle at the highest point.

Therefore, centripetal motion is demonstrated here.
