CE Physics, water surface

2010-03-12 4:01 am
From a exercise book, I saw a question, the question is as follow:
A cup filled with water is put on a slope. The slope makes a angle of 45 degrees with the ground. The cup with water is sliding down with a constant velocity. When the cup is sliding down, the water surface of the water inside the cup is parellel to the ground or making a angle to the ground?
I am really confused with the question, plz help.
更新1:

Yes, that's my answer too. Because according to the principle of relativity, object at rest is indistinguishable from object moving with constant velocity. However....the exercise said water surface is parallel to the slope= =

Thank you,physics8801,I understand now.

You have already pointed out that "object at rest is indistinguishable from object moving with constant velocity".

Should the water level is NOT parallel to the slope, imagine if you are an observer sliding down the slope together with the cup of water at the same velocity, you would distinguish your motion just by observing the water level.

Parallel to the ground, Because of the gavity.
