Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This phenomenon is an example of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. The milk, being at rest, wants to remain at rest due to its inertia, even as the paper is jerked beneath it. Net force and the difference between force and mass are not demonstrated by this scenario.
