Hi,
To conduct an experiment, relating to Inertia, you could basically look to
yourself. Inertia is as-simple-as “An object in motion shall remain in
motion until acted upon by another object, and an object at rest shall
remain at rest until acted upon by another object.”
To use yourself is to say you moved your body, and it shall continue to
move until you stop it, and now that you’ve stopped it - it is standing
still (at rest) and shall remain still until you move it.
Inertia is simply the present and absence of energy. Energy, within the
human body, is only absent during death. While the body lives it has
energy, and each stage is identified as:
The mechanical Energy, the energy of movement which results in motion, or
Kinetic Energy. Yet once we are at “Rest” our motion stops, but our body
has reserved energy or Potential Energy because we can still move.
Potential Energy is the ability to move in the absence of movement. If you
ever played 1, 2, 3 Red-light (ask your parents) you will find that stored
energy, in the absence of movement is potential energy. Another way of
saying that is “I have the ability to move, but right now I don’t want to
get out of bed.” The total amount of mechanical energy is merely, or
simply, the sum of potential energy and the kinetic energy.
