What are the forces in cheese rolling?

In cheese rolling, several forces come into play, primarily gravity, friction, and inertia. Gravity pulls the cheese down the hill, causing it to accelerate, while friction between the cheese and the ground affects its speed and trajectory. The participants, who chase the cheese, experience inertia as they attempt to maintain balance while running downhill, often resulting in falls. These forces combine to create a chaotic but exhilarating race as competitors try to catch the rolling cheese.
