Question

Is the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity always equal to the instantaneous speed? explain?

Answer 1

Speed = Distance travelled / Time

Velocity = Displacement / Time

Now when you say instantaneous, Displacement will become equal to distance travelled thus both the magnitude will become almost same.

You can understand this intuitively; The difference between displacement and distance is because you change direction. Now if u don't change direction and keep on moving is same direction velocity will become equal to speed. The same happens in instantaneous velocity and speed as direction does not change considerably when you consider instantaneous.

$\huge\bold{Answer}}$

Instantaneous velocity. The rate of change of displacement of an object in a particular direction is its velocity.The magnitude of instantaneous velocity equals the instantaneous speed. This happens because, for an infinitesimally small time interval, the motion of a particle can be approximated to be uniform.
