Behold, the ultimate flex of theoretical physics! Spending four years learning tensor calculus and differential equations just to derive the equation of motion for a rolling sphere. Meanwhile, the ball is like "I'm just gonna roll down this hill while you write that 12-page proof." The beautiful irony of physics is that we develop mind-bending mathematical frameworks to explain why round things go downhill. Newton is probably somewhere laughing at us all.
