Question

What is the difference between the formulas of instantaneous velocity and average velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Average velocity -

If the velocity of a body moving in a particular direction changes with time the ratio of displacement to the time taken in entire journey is called its average velocity.

Instantaneous velocity -

For a body moving with variable velocity, the velocity of the body at any instant is called its instantaneous velocity.

For a body moving with variable velocity, the velocity of the body at any instant is called its instantaneous velocity. It is measured by finding the ratio of the distance travelled in a sufficiently small time interval, to the time interval. It is important to have time interval small enough so that the direction of motion does not change during this interval.

Answer 2

Answer:

The instantaneous velocity is the specific rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time at a single point (x,t) , while average velocity is the average rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time over an interval.
