Rolling Ball- Inertia, Motion and Friction

In this video, we perform a simple ramp and ball experiment to elucidate the concepts of inertia and motion. By releasing a ball from rest at the top of an inclined plane, we observe its tendency to remain in motion once it starts rolling, illustrating inertia—the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion. The ball's acceleration down the ramp demonstrates how unbalanced forces influence motion, aligning with Newton's first law. when kept flat, the ball remains stationary due to inertia, resisting any change in its state. When an external force is applied, it begins to roll, demonstrating how inertia maintains its motion. As the ball encounters frictional forces, it gradually slows and eventually stops, illustrating inertia's role in resisting changes to its motion.This experiment provides a clear, hands-on demonstration of fundamental physics principles. Materials ● Chopping board/Exam board ● Pile of books ● Ball Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Set up a ramp using a book or cutting board. 2. Place a ball at the top of the ramp and let it roll down. 3. Observe how the ball keeps moving until something stops it.
