See an But in this statement it must be understood that the areas of partial
projections are to be reckoned as positive if particular sides , which , for brevity ,
we may call the outside of the projected area and the front of the plane of
projection ...

A curling - stone , projected along a horizontal surface of ice , travels equal
distances , except in so far as it is retarded by friction and by the resistance of the
air , in successive intervals of time during which the earth turns through equal
angles .

If two material points be projected from one position , A , at the same instant with
any velocities in any directions , and each left to move uninfluenced by force , the
line joining them will be always parallel to a fixed direction . For the law asserts ...
