no doubt, intended, the falling ball

If you could trace the course Of
the ball in space you would find
that it followed, with reference
to the ground. a path sloping for
ward and downward, and the
steepness of the slope would be
inversely proportional to the speed
of the car shared by the ball.
The slope would be, in reality, a
curve, increasing in steepness to-
ward the bottom, owing to the ac-
celebration Of the downward mo-
ton by gravity, as compared with
the uniform forward motion.
