This because air is present inside the empty glass which does not let the water to enter theglass . Air also offers a force which is opposite the force of water and does not let the water to enter the glass.

How do you turn a glass full of water upside down without spilling it?

One way to turn a glass full of water upside down without spilling it is to place a piece of cardboard or a small plate over the mouth of the glass, then flip the glass upside down while holding the plate/cardboard in place. Once the glass is upside down, carefully remove the plate/cardboard to reveal the water remaining in the glass.


Explain why the cardboard did not fall to the ground when the glass of water was tipped upside down?

The cardboard did not fall to the ground when the glass of water was tipped upside down because the air pressure on the top surface of the cardboard was greater than the water pressure holding it down. This created a force that pushed the cardboard against the glass and prevented it from falling.


Why does the water inside the glass covered with paper does not spill when you turn the glass upside down?

The air pressure pushing up on the paper is greater than the gravitational force pulling down on the water, creating a temporary barrier that holds the water in place. This creates a vacuum seal, preventing the water from spilling out when the glass is turned upside down.


What will happen to the glass if you will dip it upside down in a pail filled with water?

When you dip a glass upside down in a pail filled with water, the air trapped inside the glass creates an air pocket at the top of the glass, preventing water from entering. This is because the pressure of the air inside the glass is greater than the pressure of the water outside. The glass will remain filled with air and no water will enter.


What do you think would happen if the bottom of the glass had a hole in it you submerged it upside down in water?

If the glass has a hole in the bottom and you submerge it upside down in water, the water would enter the glass through the hole until the air pressure inside and outside the glass equalize. Once this happens, the water would stay at a level inside the glass equal to the height of the water outside the glass.

What happened to the water in a glass when turned upside down?

When a glass of water is turned upside down, the water does not fall out due to the presence of air pressure pushing against the water, creating a vacuum inside the glass. This vacuum holds the water in place, creating a seal that prevents the water from spilling out.
