Why does an empty sealed bottle collapse with altitude?

Actually, an empty sealed bottle should expand slightly as altitude increases. At the altitude where the bottle is sealed, the air pressure outside the bottle is equal to the air pressure inside the bottle. When the bottle is transported to a higher altitude, the air pressure inside the bottle is greater than the air pressure outside the bottle (In other words: There are more air molecules per unit volume inside the bottle than outside). The increased air pressure inside the bottle relative to the outside pressure causes the bottle to expand slightly. An empty bottle would not collapse as altitude increases.


Why would a tightly closed empty water bottle crush itself?

This answer presumes that "empty" means the bottle has no water in it, but does have air in it.In this case the bottle would collapse (or partly collapse) if the temperature inside the bottle dropped to a lower temperature causing the air inside to shrink, or if the bottle was taken to a place of higher air pressure (such as taking the bottle from a mountain peak to the base of the mountain.The bottle would also collapse at some point of evacuation if "empty" means the bottle was evacuated of water and air. The point of collapse, in this case, would depend on the physical construction of the bottle - ie, whether it was made of steel, plastic or glass

Why does a sealed empty tin can collapse when the air inside the can is pumped out?

Because the air pressure is 15 lb per square inch, so when you take the air out, there is no pressure inside, so the pressure outside the can crushes it.


How do mass and inertia make it easier to pick up an empty juice bottle and a full juice bottle?

An empty bottle has less mass than a full bottle. This means that the empty bottle has less force to overcome when lifted which corresponds to less work to lift it.
