... Aristotle would say that the rolling billiard ball stopped because a force was not acting on it to keep it going. He would be wrong. Galileo would say that an unbalanced force must have acted upon the ball to stop it. 13. In terms of newton’s first law, how does a car head rest help to guard against ...

... (a) What is the mass of the ellipsoid? Since this system is in equilibrium, we know two important things: the sum of the torques is zero, and the sum of the forces on the system is zero. Since the sum of the torques is zero, we can relate the mass of the ellipse, me with the mass of the square, mc ...
