I have had students discuss what causes a force. I've found that
this helps students eliminate 'inertia' from the discussion of
forces. I've taught that each force comes from an interaction and
there must be something causing a force. Students eventually see
that inertia doesn't have an obvious cause and then can't be a force.
I am curious what others have to say about this.
