I was watching this show "Street Genius" on National Geographic and the host Tim Shaw demonstrated an experiment about Inertia, What he did was, He tied one end of a table cloth to a car through a long rope and started driving the car, when the rope was taut, the cloth was pulled and the things on the table were still on the table. What are the calculations involved in it and what determines the speed required to pull the table cloth without disturbing the things on it?
