When a point moves from one position to another it must evidently describe a
continuous line , which may be curved or straight , or even made up of portions of
curved and straight lines meeting each other at any angles . If the motion be that

The definition in last section may evidently be extended to a plane polygon , and
the integral change of direction , or the angle between the first and last sides , is
then the sum of its exterior angles , all the sides being produced each in the ...

8 driving - power to be made , we can evidently obtain an approximation to the
velocity at a particular instant , by considering ( § 25 ) the motion for so short a
time , that during that time the actual variation of speed may be small enough to
be ...

Evidently there is no acceleration perpendicular to the plane containing the fixed
point and the line of motion of the moving point at any instant ; and there being no
velocity perpendicular to this plane at starting , there is therefore none ...
