Default how a sail works, who can help me explain?

Yes that's true. Now what is the linear velocity of an object moving in

Accleration isn't movement -- it's a change in velocity.

Nav,

I do believe, g linear velocity in a circle is called RPM's

Thanks for taking a good post and destroying it with static

Not familar with the term "linear velocity". Do you mean speed, or a particular
component of velocity, or what?
