If anyone has a great inertia demo they wish to share, I would like
to hear about it. I have one that astounds students. I get flat poker
chips, and stack them in alternating colors (using school colors, of
course). With a steel rule that has a thickness that is less than a
chip, I rapidly wave it back and forth, each time knocking out the
bottom chip. It sorts them and astonishes the students. But, like the
tablecloth, is this not really a demo of the Property of Inertia?
