Hence the resultant of velocities represented by the sides of any closed polygon
whatever , whether in one plane or not , taken all in the same order , is zero .
Hence also the resultant of velocities represented by all the sides of a polygon

... to the square of the velocity divided by the radius of curvature . The whole
acceleration will , in every case , be the resultant of the acceleration thus
measuring change of direction and the acceleration of actual velocity along the
curve . 40.

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

This resultant again we may compound with the ( roughly - known ) velocity of the
sun relatively to the so - called fixed stars ; but , even if all these elements were
accurately known , it could not be said that we had attained any idea of an ...
