7 Inertia Demonstrations





In these 7 demonstrations, the law of inertia, which states that: Every object continues in a state of rest or of uniform speed in a straight line unless acted on by a nonzero net force, is tested. In each demonstration, an object is either in a state of rest (such as the penny in the 3rd demonstration) or in a state of motion (such as the books in the 6th demonstration), and once an object is in one of these states, it will continue to do so unless stopped by another force. These object do not want to move, they want to continue doing that they are doing, and that is called inertia.

  1. I like how in this post, you thoroughly explained the law of inertia as well as each demonstration in the video. Our posts were very similar because we used the same exact resource. Our posts were different because I offered no explanation of the resource. Once again, Great post!
