What have you got? You'll get a critique of that.

I should start by thinking about what heppens on a non icy sidewalk.

 

As you walk forward your whole body, including your feet has a foward velocity (relative to the ground).

 

You lift one foot off the ground and extend it forwards, placing it back on the ground.

 

What (whose) law says it will keep going forwards?

 

Yet as soon as it touches the ground your foot stops and does not move forwards.

 

So what stops it?
