11/11/2003 Prof. Hájek Hum 9	Back of the box of a beach ball with a not-so-tiny not-so-well-attached weight inside brought in as an example: UnpredictaBall! An Inflatable Ball Challenging the Laws of Gravity & Centrifugal Motion What's the shortest distance between two points? A loop? With the UnpredictaBall it is! Try to throw it straight and it zig-zags like a bat. Most of the time you won't be able to catch it at all! The secret is a tiny weight glued to the inner wall which takes off on it's own separate journey every time you throw the ball. The weight adds a third force (centrifugal motion) to the two normal forces (gravity and acceleration) that determine a moving object's direction. The result is a wacky, zig-zag motion that defies prediction. (c) 1990 The Nature Company
