Thus the set of values Space described in one second , Ten times the space
described in the first tenth of a second , A hundred hundredth and so on , give
nearer and nearer approximations to the velocity at the beginning of the first
second .

the area described in one second about the fixed point , which has just been
shown to be a constant quantity . Other examples of these principles will be met

... one , as the rate of increase of the angle contained by them ; but unless their
line of intersection remain fixed , or at all events parallel to itself , a somewhat
more laboured statement is required to give a complete specification of the
motion .

... to be found by imagining impressed on both a southward velocity of fifty miles
an hour ; the effect of this being to bring the first to rest , and to give the second a
southward velocity of eighty miles an hour , which is the required relative motion .
