quantities, and they are capable of geometricaladdition. When a particle has several motions given toit at the same time, its actual motion is made up of all ofthem. The motions are then said to be compounded.The actual motion is the resultant, and the several motionsentering into it are called the… … X Fig. 5 Let us now consider the composition of two uniformrectilinear motions takingplace along different rightlines. Let the particle besubject to a uniform motionalong the line OX (Fig. 5),while at the same time thisline is displaced parallelto itself, so that the point0 moves uniformly alongOY.…
