Mass and Newtons first law

1) I usually ride bikes when its not so cold out, and i notice myself riding down a hill, usually i notice that if I'm on a very steep hill going down, i can let go of the bars and i would be going down still at a constant speed. Inertia shows how "things like to stay where they are" as if i didn't have friction, id be going on forever!

2)  Cars. Some cars i see, everyday really do tie into inertia. If a car is going 90 on the freeway, inertia makes it go , on and on until friction stops it and gravity keeps it down.

3) Roller Coaster! when i see a roller coster we obviously have that scary moment in which we're going slowly up the ride, but then we also have that moment in which the coaster goes downward into a plunging ride. Inertia would send you flying, forever but the seatbelt keeps you down.
