construction :To compound any two ... a point moving with the first of the given
velocities — and similarly OB for the second ; from A draw AC parallel and equal

Since the velocity in ABD is constant , all the lines OP , 00 , etc. , will be equal ( to
V ) , and therefore POS is a circle whose b B centre is O. The direction of
acceleration at A is parallel to S the tangent at P , that is , is perpendicular to OP ,
i.e. to ...

Its maximum value is that with which a velocity equal to that of the circular motion
would be acquired in the time in which an arc equal to the radius is described .
