For example, the velocity profile corresponding to the path of Fig. A-21 may be specified in terms of
the vector speed and acceleration.

The velocities along the X and Y axes are such that the direction of motion follows the specified path,
yet the vector velocity fits the vector speed and acceleration requirements.
For example, the velocities along the X and Y axes for the path shown in Fig. A-21 are given in Fig.
A-23.
Fig. A-23a shows the vector velocity. It also indicates the position point along the path starting at A
and ending at D. Between the points A and B, the motion is along the Y axis. Therefore,
Vy = Vs
and
Vx = 0
Between the points B and C, the velocities vary gradually and finally, between the points C and D, the
motion is in the X direction.
Fig. A-23b shows X axis velocity. Fig A-23c shows Y axis velocity.
