Centripetal force. The water wants to fall out due to gravity, but the speed of the rotating bucket cancels it out, creating an inward acceleration.. It is the same as why you don't fall out of an upside sown roller coaster. The speed has to such to cancel out gravity acceleration, where velocity squared divided by the radius of the rotating circle is the acceleration of gravity

Why doesn't water in a bucket fall when it is vertically rotated?

The water doesn't fall out of a vertically rotating bucket due to inertia and centripetal force. The inertia of the water causes it to continue moving in a straight line while the bucket moves around it, and the centripetal force generated by the bucket's motion keeps the water contained within the bucket.

What would happen to water if you stopped the motion of the bucket upside down?

If you stop the motion of the bucket upside down, the water inside the bucket will continue to move in the direction it was going due to its inertia. This means that the water will temporarily remain in place inside the bucket while the bucket comes to a stop, before eventually falling due to gravity.

Have you ever drawn water from a well and felt that the bucket of water is heavier when it is out of the water?

No, I haven't. But, when the bucket is in the water, the weight is supported by the water in the well. Once the bucket is raised out of the water, the weight is no longer supported, and the full weight of the bucket and the water within the bucket is felt as it is raised towards the surface.


If you shoot a gun in a bucket of water will the bucket bust?

No, the bucket will not bust if you shoot a gun into a bucket of water. Water is a dense material that absorbs the impact of a bullet, preventing the bucket from breaking. However, the force of the shot may cause the water to splash out of the bucket.
