You're right.....Thanks for your correction

Average Acceleration = Change in Velocity divided by a Change in Time

Now are we talking:

Linear or Angular Motion

The formulas vary slightly for both

Theta = Arc Length divided by the radius

Omega = Average Angular Velocity equals a change in theta divided by a change in time

Alpha = Average Angular Acceleration equals a change in omega divided by a change in time

Arc Acceleration = alpha times the radius

Centripetal acceleration = Omega squared times the radius

Centripetal Force = Mass times Omega Squared times the Radius

Centrifugal Force = Newtons 3rd Law to Centrifugal Force

Why weren't these formulas used in the Yellow Book? Bibliography? Documented Sources/ Footnotes?

That's Ok.....I believe Homer anyway....28 years of work very impressive...but I work for a University...If I submitted that wonderful piece of work...the Dissertation Committee would have told me nice try and re-tee!!!

Those equations look mighty fine although strange to my eye. I have never seen them written out in English. I am so used to the Greek letters / mathematical forms, I had to re-read these several times to understand.
