There is a bottle of water on a sheet of paper on the table. if you pull out the sheet quickly, the bottle will remain in place. explain this phenomenon

This classic “school” experience was described in “Entertaining Physics” by Perelman. We are talking about the phenomenon of inertia – the property of a body to remain motionless in the absence of external influences. In this case, the impact is obvious (a sharply pulled out leaf), but the bottle remains in place due to the instantaneous action, in order to move from its place, it would take a longer exposure. The phenomenon of inertia was pondered over in ancient Greece, but it was explained by European scientists of modern times – Newton and Galileo.
