velocity polygon and corelis acceleration?

What are those?

By "velocity polygon" are you referring perhaps to how it can sometimes look like a polygon when drawing out the addition of two vectors?

 

[Dr.D]

Perhaps the OP is referring to the idea that, in many mechanism problems, it is convenient to express position relations in terms of a polygon that remains closed at all times, although it may deform as parts move and time passes.

When these relations are differentiated with respect to time, the result is a closed polygon of velocity vectors.

The Coriolis acceleration falls out naturally wherever it is relevant with this approach to kinematics.
