Average Velocity...2

Calculus 1
Section 1.4

I have not studied the derivative so far in the textbook.

Questions:

1. What is instantaneous velocity?

2. Can you provide a graphical interpretation of the instantaneous velocity?

 

this is same as https://www.math-forums.com/threads/average-velocity-1.442289/

 

In that case, I will tackle this later today. Again, thank you for taking this journey with me.

 

Instantaneous velocity is not the same as average velocity.

 

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object in motion at a specific point in time. This is determined similarly to average velocity, but we narrow the period of time so that it approaches zero. If an object has a standard velocity over a period of time, its average and instantaneous velocities may be the same.

 

I will look into this some more.
