What state of matter is a plasticine?
Silly putty is a very tricky state of matter that has the definitions of two states of matter: solid and liquid. The definition of a liquid is that it takes the shape of the container that it is in, the atoms are loose within the matter, and they flow easily. Solids have tightly packed atoms in the matter, keeps it shape - no matter what container it is in, so it has a certain size or shape (though you can change the shape of solid matter). Silly putty has a in-between atom spacing within it, it isn't just going to stay there, it can move a little. When given time, silly putty can take the shape of the container it is in, but does not flow easily. You can split apart the substance that is silly putty. The boiling point of silly putty has the same freezing point as water - freezing - 0oC, boiling point - 100oC. -kos
Why doesn't water fall out of a container when you spin it 360 degrees?
The force that holds water in the container is called centripetal force. It is not specific to water, it affect anything spun in a circle. The water has inertia, which means it wants to continue in the direction that its moving - if you were to let go, the water would fly forward in its current direction. And not only does your container keep the water from flying off, it also keeps changing the direction the water wants to go. If you spin the container fast enough, centripetal force can beat the force of gravity. Its as if the water is being endlessly thrown into the bottom of the container.
