Inertia is the reluctance of a body at rest to start moving or a body in motion to come to rest. In this case Inertia prevents the ketchup from flowing.

That is why removing/getting it out of the bottle is effective in this way:

1) Hold it by the neck

2) Turn it upside-down (cap ON please)

3) Swing it in this position towards the plate

4) Jerk it to a stop quickly right before it hits the plate

The ketchup will continue flying towards the other end, even though the bottle has stopped. This is because the innertia (or tendency of an object to stay in its current state of motion, at rest or in motion) keeps it moving even though the bottle has stopped.

This is a neat way to do it if this is you Physics Homework for the day, cheaters!

If A bottle contains 500 mL of ketchup and has a density of 1.43 g What is the mass of the bottle in grams?

Question as asked cannot be answered. We know that the bottle can contain 500 mL of ketchup, but we don't know the volume of the material from which the bottle is made, nor the correct density (the figure given as density, 1.43 g, is actually a mass). In addition even if we assume that the figure given for density is 1.43 g/mL is an actual density, from the sentence structure we have a volume for ketchup, and a density of the material in the bottle ("density" refers back to bottle, not to ketchup—"Bottle contains ... and has a density of"). If the one who posed the question meant to write, "If a bottle contains 500 ml of ketchup, and the ketchup has a density of 1.43 g/l, what is the mass of the ketchup in the bottle in grams", then the original answer to the question 715g/mL mass = density x volume is correct.


What force will not effect inertia if its force is zero?

Force does not affect inertia in general. Inertia can basically be identified with the mass.


Is pouring ketchup on your food is a physical change?

Yes, pouring ketchup on your food is considered a physical change. This process involves changing the state of the ketchup from a bottle to being spread over food without altering its chemical composition. The properties of the ketchup, such as its taste and color, remain the same, demonstrating that only a physical change has occurred.

Why a ketchup bottle is turned upside down then thrust downward and stops suddenly?

The ketchup is thick and sticky, and gravity alone might not be enough to get it to leave the bottle.So you use something called inertia.Inertia basically means that stuff like to keep doing what it was doing the moment before. So first you make the bottle, and the ketchup move downwards, then you stop the bottle. The ketchup, due to inertia, will try to keep moving, so some of it will splash out of the bottle.

How does the brand affect the ketchup's flow?

Well, honey, the brand doesn't have magical powers to control the ketchup flow. It's all about the bottle design and viscosity of the ketchup itself. So, pick a bottle with a good squeeze and give it a little shake if you need to get that red goodness flowing.
