Photograph of inertia demonstrator

Apparatus:
stand with metal bar, ball bearing, card

Description:
A cleaner version of the old "pull the tablecloth from under the dishes" trick.
Put the card under the ball bearing on the stand. Pull back the metal bar and release. The bar will flick the card out from under the ball bearing without disturbing the ball.
