So in class I need some way I can demonstrate Newtons
first lawusing items I can find in my house.My resources are
okay.The best idea will win.Just need some good ideas.I already
brain stormed I just need to find out if there is anything I am missing.

Well, it isn't as complicated as you think of it. There are many simple ways, some are creative while others are not. A way you could demonstrate Newton's First Law of Motion is by laying any object in your house on the ground or a flat surface, then, when you describe the part when it says that it when it moves it goes in a strait line unless moved by any particular force, you could push this object and show how it goes in a straight line. however, you should also show how it doesn't go in a straight line. A way you could do this is (if it happens to be a small / light object) you could push it in the air and allow a person to use a fan, while then, it will not go in a straight line.
Another way to demonstrate Newton's First Law of Motion is to get a small ball, then a small container. The first part of the law is when you don't move it, it won't be moved (unless moved by some sort of force) so let the ball stay where it is for that excerpt of the demonstration. When you go into the second part of the demonstration (the part where an object moves in a straight line without any force), you would put the ballinto the container and just "pour" it out, you'll see it go in a straight line. If you want to show the ball not go in a straight line from some sort of force, you would push the container(which is your force), and "pour" the ball out, and show how it doesn't go in a straight line.
There are countless demonstrations, so don't think these are your only options.

here is an example. Get a yo-yo or something like that connected to a string. Swing this over your head. Your object is going in a circular motion because it is being constantly effected by "cetriptal force". Once you let go of the string, centripal force ceases and inertia takes over...the object flies in a straight line until gravity pulls it to the ground or it strikes another object.

taking photos a gun is a sturdy occasion. The 'kick' you get lower back from firing that's the reaction to the impulse given to the bullet. a sturdy occasion of undesirable physics is in movies the place somebody gets hit by utilising a bullet and knocked head over heels. That could no longer take place in genuine existence because of the fact the bullet ought to no longer provide greater impulse whilst it hit something and stopped than the gun gave it whilst it replaced into fired. If a bullet ought to genuinely try this then the guy who fired it may additionally get knocked off their ft!

is the 1st one the one about objects in motion staying that way unless acted upon by an outside force ......and staying at rest unless acted upon by and outside force....well if it is...you could roll a ball softly ( gravity the "outside force" will stop it) and then you can leave it in one place and say that it will stay that way unless you kick it ....or something like that
