Their is a huge difference between Arc Velocity,Arc Acceleration, Angular Velocity and Angular Acceleration....So I don't think Homer was contridicting himself...
Remember Acceleration is a CHANGE in Distance divided by a CHANGE In Time....
Arc Velocity which is the measure of the Circumference of the Arc from one point to another...usually measured in radians or degrees of travel..
Arc Acceleration is alpha times the radiusmeasured in radians or degrees
Angular Velocity(omega x's the radius) is the measure of Angular Velocity around the Center usually measured in radians per second
Angular Acceleration is (alpha= final omega - initial omega divided by time) I believe measured in radians per second squared.
I didn't have my Biomechanics text in front of me...If there is an error in the formulas or units I will edit in the morning when I get to the University.
The chick is gonna hatch soon..Yoda keep the light on!!!!
Keep us warm....
