Inertia @ Home Demo: Joe Zerang


I decide to demonstrating the cloth trick. To do this I first placed dinnerware on my dining room table with a cloth under it. Next I grabbed the cloth, and pulled down quickly. After that occurred, the items stayed in place. Inertia states that the tendency of an object to resist change in their state of motion. The items on the table resisted the change in their state of motion, after I pulled the table cloth, and stayed in place.

My mom didn't really have a lot to say except for the fact that you need to pull the cloth down quickly for it to be accurate. She hasn't learned physics since she was in school so I didn't expect a lot. What she said was a correct statement, but she left out any form of scientific evidence with her response. Overall I'd say her response was a 6 out of 10.
