If the motion be that of a material particle , however , there can be no abrupt
change of velocity , nor of direction unless where the velocity is zero , since ( as
we shall afterwards see ) such would imply the action of an infinite force . It is
useful to ...

The moment of the resultant velocity of a particle about any point in the plane of
the components is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of the components
, the proper sign of each moment depending on the direction of motion about the

Smith's curve is precisely the Hamiltonian hodograph for an imaginary particle
moving at each instant with the same velocity and the same direction as the
particle of fluid passing , at the same instant , through the point referred to . ] 50.

From $$ 61 , 52 , it follows that when a particle moves with acceleration towards a
fixed point , varying inversely as the square of the istance , its orbit is a conic
section , with his point for one focus . And conversely ( $$ 47 , 51 , 62 ) , if the
orbit ...
