Acceleration: Angular & Linear:
"Physics recognizes two, and only two, uniquely differentiable motion patterns:
(1) Angular Acceleration: As when a weight on the end of a string is swung in a circular pattern around and above one's head; and
(2) Linear Acceleration: As when the string holding the weight in circular orbit is released and the weight flies a radial course directly away from the weight and string operator.
The angular acceleration is circumferential. Linear acceleration is radial in respect to the acceleration generating operator observer."
