For our inertia project, we filled a beaker with water and then placed a paper arrow inside, which floated at the top. As we spun the beaker around, the arrow either stayed in 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 caused the water to stay in place while the glass moved. The arrow indicates the movement of the water.
