If the motion be that of a material particle , however , there can be no abrupt
change of velocity , nor of direction unless where the velocity is zero , since ( as
we shall afterwards see ) such would imply the action of an infinite force . It is
useful to ...

This is the case of a body falling vertically in vacuo under the action of gravity . In
this case the space described in any interval is that which would be described in
the same time by a point moving uniformly with a velocity equal to that at the ...

the velocity ; so , if a body be rotating about an axis , and be subjected to an
action tending to produce rotation about a perpendicular axis , the D 2

As there can be neither annihilation nor generation of matter in any natural
motion or action , the whole quantity of a fluid within any space at any time must
be equal to the quantity originally in that space , increased by the whole quantity
that ...
