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 ...

... as in 271 a planet's motion , it is useful to introduce the quantity which is then
called the mean angular velocity . T ' 59. When a point moves uniformly in a
straight line its angular velocity evidently diminishes as it recedes from the point
