This week in physics we began learning the basics about force. In this picture during New Years, I am swinging a red dragon whip firework around myself like a mad man. Although it was popping, it was also swinging around me. The definition of inertia is a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion unless that state is changed by an external force. When the red dragon whip was in its box, the inertia wanted to stay still and curled up, so that's exactly what it did. But when I removed it from its box, lighted it, and began swinging it, the inertia caused it to want to stay in its swinging motion. Thus once again proving even more that physics is applicable to our everyday life.
