1F 20.10 - String Breaker:

Demonstrates: Inertia.

Description: An iron ball is suspended with monofilament and a rod is suspended from the iron ball. When the rod is given a quick jerk the iron ball remains suspeneded. When the rod is pulled slowly the iron ball is pulled down.

1F 20.20 - Smash Your Hand:

Demonstrates: Inertia of rest.

Description: A lead brick covers a flat hand, the brick is struck by a hammer.

1F 20.25 - Bed of Nails:

Demonstrates: Inertia of rest.

Description: A standard cynder block is smashed atop a person in between two boards with nails.

1F 20.31 - Table Cloth Pull:

Demonstrates: Inertia of rest.

Description: DVD excerpt.

1F 20.32 - Hammer and Colored Discs:

Demonstrates: Inertia.

Description: Hammer and a stack of colored disks. Hammer striking the disks from the top does not alter the stack. Striking individual disks from the side will knock out the disk with out affecting the remaining disks.

1F 30.10 - Persistence of Motion:

Demonstrates: Velocity.

Description: Air car moves with constant velocity on a level air track.
