Soccer ball: A soccer ball gives a good example of inertia because in sports it takes a large role. The soccer ball does not move until it is kicked, and the players who kick the ball have to determine the weight and mass of the ball, in order to estimate the distance they can move it.
Paper Airplane: Inertia is crucially involved with the paper airplane in a few ways;; In order for it to change position, someone needs to pick it up and throw it.. In order for it to move far, someone needs to throw in a way so that it can ride through the air. This is an example of inertia because when it glides the air is pushing the wings so that it stays afloat,
Seesaw: The seesaw gives a good example of inertia, because it is a playground toy where the goal is to apply force downward to one end in order lift up the other side..
Car Wheel: It's a little harder to see, but the wheel uses inertia too. When you press the gas pedal in a car, the electricity forces the wheel to start spinning against the road. But because the road is immobile, the friction causes the wheel to move forward.
Pinball: This is another game entirely based on the works of inertia. To start, you have to pull a spring back and let go, in order to launch the ball. To gain points, you it with two pedals so that it can bouce off other objects.
