It looks pretty scary doesn't it, especially written in those huge red letters. But guess what? It isn't! The video below is a basic, but amazing description of Newton's First Law.
Class was informative, and the experiments we did were fun, but I was wondering about all the real world implications of this nifty thing called Inertia. The boy on the train made that possible (although I've never actually ridden on a train).
Objects tend to "keep on doing what they're doing" unless disturbed.And our bodies, like any other object, don't want to stop. Therefore, when the train moves, he jerks backward as his body resist the urge to move, and when the train stops he moves forward because his body continues moving!
This is a very helpful demonstration of Inertia. i liked how it gave us a real life situation in which we would see inertia instead of just the small experiments we do in class. We can relate to this video therefore helping us understand it better. I liked the way you wrote this too it was enjoyable to read. The colors were a nice touch too.
