The heavier the ball, the greater its momentum, and th

The lion does not go after the fastest gazelle because he knows that he will never catch it; rather, he goes for the slowest.If the goal is to catch food in order to survive, the lion was successful because he went after what he knew he could catch. The fastest of the gazelle’s is used to the advances of the lion and is quick to react. The lion knows that if he chases that prized gazelle, he will be passi
