23. The rate of motion of a point , or its rate of change of position , is called its
Velocity . It is greater or less as the space passed over in a given time is greater
or less : and it may be uniform , i.e. the same at every instant ; or it may be
variable .

For , since the velocity increases uniformly , its value at any time before the
middle of the interval is as much less than this mean as its value at the same time
after the middle of the interval is greater than the mean : and hence its value at
the ...

CB touching this circle represents the most deviated resultant . Hence CBA is a
right angle ; A and AB sin BCA = СА . 77. A most interesting application of this
