In fact , if v be the velocity at either beginning or end , or at any instant , of an
interval t , and s the space actually described in that interval ; the equation v = (

If there be no initial velocity our equations become vrat , x = Lat " , = jat ?, ? v = ax
. Of course the preceding formulae apply to a constant retardation , as in the case
of a projectile moving vertically upwards , by simply giving a a negative sign .

This idea , when expressed in a perfectly comprehensive manner for every
portion of a fluid in motion , constitutes what is commonly called the ' equation of
continuity . 163. Two ways of proceeding to express this idea present themselves
