Re: [Phys-l] [PTSOS] anvil and sledgehammer inertia demo



Two I like:
Riding an elevator while standing on an analog bathroom scale.

Placing a board on two "frictionless" carts and attach the board to a force
probe. The drag a block at a "constant" speed with another force probe.

I substantially agree. What are your favorite demos of this, suitable
