The physics behind bottle flipping is pretty complex. Even though it's simply gravity pushing the bottle down while the Angular momentum rotates the bottle. But I will go more in to detail in the essay. Bottle flipping started last year when a senior at Adrey Kell high school in North Carolina flipped a water bottle for his talent show performance. And after the video went viral, social media went ablaze with the water bottle flipping phenomenon.
With the pressure of his classmates staring, the senior flipped a third full water bottle in the air while holding the water bottle by the cap. The focus, the precision, and the reaction of the audience help make this high school student seem extraordinary. Although the real thing that makes water bottle flipping so great is the physics behind the famous bottle flip, which are pretty complex. A professor at Northwestern university, said.. " This not your average undergraduate physics problem, it's much more complicated." I hopefully will fully explain to you the full science and physics behind bottle flipping even though you probably already know, because you are my teacher and hopefully your smarter than me.

The right amount of water, a practiced and thoroughly thought out technique, and a perfect timing of releasing the bottle before flipping. An hour glass showed bottle is the most effective for flipping. Also, the perfect amount of water is 16.9 ounces according to Nathaniel stern, the professor. Although, that is just his opinion, every water bottle flipper has there own preference for the shape of the bottle they are flipping and how much water is in it. For example I prefer about 15 ounces of water and more of a circular, Gatorade like
In the first article "The Curse of Water Bottles" the author is obviously trying to convince people to stop wasting bottles and recycle. For example "There are solutions like using your own personal water bottle and refilling it" and that would save from buying water bottles, and reduce some of the waste. It also states "Some cities are fining homeowners and businesses for not recycling" so that means even cities are trying to get people to stop wasting water bottles. Companies and/or states have tried putting rewards on the bottles if you return them, as stated "Some states have tried to put a nickel return fee on water bottles like those on soda and other beverages" but it still doesn't work out for everyone, because "grocery
A reversible reaction that takes place in both the forward and backward directions can be demonstrated by the reaction between gaseous hydrogen and iodine vapours to give gaseous hydrogen iodide:

For the rocket to launch it needed to be propelled by something, for our rockets we used regular air and compressed it. Upon releasing the stopper Newton’s first law went into effect which states that for something to move a force must act upon it in this case the gas moving out of the bottle. When the stopper was pulled the pressure in the bottle forced its way down, which applied the force to start the motion of the bottle. His 3rd law can also explain this because the water going down forces the rocket in the exact opposite direction the water goes. Which is why one time when we shot the rocket it flew at an angle. Also it shows why the launchers had stoppers, because if they didn’t the cork wasn’t strong enough to hold that pressure and would cause the rocket to begin flight prematurely. His second law can be used to describe how high and fast the rocket will go. If you wanted it to go really high and fast you would just pump more pressure into it then if you didn’t want it to go that high. You can determine how much force is needed by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.
In this case, I will be talking about basket tosses. Extreme care needs to be taken for this stunt to be completed safely and successfully, meaning there are many rules and regulations set in place (AACCA, 2016). In fact, some competitions discourage them in routines due to the high rate of serious injury. The physics concepts that I will be explaining will involve the whole execution of the skill from the time the flyer is in their hands to the time that she is caught by her bases in a cradle. Concepts such as Newton’s first law will explain how they get her into the air. The use of torque will explain her rotation along with angular momentum. Finally, gravity explains her descent back towards the earth and the impulse momentum theorem describes the most critical part, the
Lift or curve in the motion of an object through air is a phenomena that is noticeable in a ball traveling through fluid/air. This change in direction is due to the effect that spin has on the object in motion. This can be explained by Bernoulli's Principle. Bernoulli, a 1700's physicist and mathematician, showed that the speed of an object through liquid/air changes the pressure of the air. The velocity of a spinning ball relative to the air is different from one side to the other creating a low pressure on one side and a high pressure on the other. This causes the ball to move in the direction of the lower pressure. The golf ball is typically hit with an undercut causing a reverse rotation and therefore a lifting action on the ball.

The US Container Recycling Institute estimates that 67 million plastic water bottles are discarded every day, enough plastic water bottles to wrap around the planet 149 times each year. Indeed, plastic water bottles should be banned from use by the public. The usage of water bottles should be suppressed because they are unimaginably dangerous, wasteful, expensive, and rarely recycled.
According to the “Competition in the Bottled Water Industry in 2006 Case,” bottled water industry became the one of the world’s most attractive beverage categories, as more and more people began to focus on health and fitness. Consumers start realizing the need of proper hydration, and they began purchasing bottled water instead of drinking tap water, because they were worried about safety of tap water, which tasted like chemicals. Actually, tap water contained chemicals, such as chlorine and fluoride, which are harmful for human body; however, this problem was solved when the bottled water was brought to the market. Due to bottled water’s convenience, purity, and portability, and safety, bottled water industry began to rise rapidly. During

You'll find it at home, work, and school. It's in coolers and vending machines and on store shelves. You may have it with you right now. Bottled water is everywhere. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports, "Bottled water is the fastest growing drink choice in the United States." In some ways, this is good news. More people recognize the health benefits of drinking water. They are choosing water over sugary drinks like soda and juice. Unfortunately, bottled water has a dark side. It comes not only with a high environmental cost but also with a hefty price tag. Stop and think: Is the growing trend of drinking bottled water really worth it?
It might be easier to live a healthy life for many people, but for others it can be very challenging. I have tried to be healthy so many times, but I always fell off the wagon. For many days I would “feel” healthy, but in reality I was not the healthiest person mentally or physically. I knew that I had to change my behavior, and become healthier (or at least almost healthy) if I wanted to live a longer life. I began my journey by drinking more water, balancing my eating with exerting, all while trying to stay mentally well.
