How is velocity same from instantaneous speed?
Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of the velocity. Velocity also states the [direction] of the speed.
What is instantaneous velocity or speed?
It is the speed or velocity at a particular instant.
Does light speed accelerate or is it instantaneous velocity?
Instantaneous.
If the instantaneous velocity of an object remains constand can its instantaneous speed change?
No. Speed can remain constant when velocity changes, but velocity can't remain constant when speed changes.
Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?
It shows instantaneous speed.
Can the average speed ever equal the instantaneous speed?
When there is no acceleration or when there is constant acceleration. When either of these cases is present, the graph of velocity versus time will be linear. When there is linear velocity, the average velocity will equal the instantaneous velocity at any point on the graph.
Compare and contrast velocity and instantaneous speed?
velocity is just a general term for speed (it could be average velocity or instantaneous velocity). Instantaneous velocity/speed (same thing) is the speed at that second. If you are familiar with calculus, it is the derivative of the position graph. Whereas average velocity is how fast the object is going in, for example, 1 hour, it is the speed that is maintained the whole hour (or the average) Instantaneous would be that at the second, at for example t=1.425, the speed is 24m/h . something along those lines
What is the difference between instantaneous velocity and instantaneous speed?
Speed, instantaneous or not, is a term used for how fast an object travels. Velocity, instantaneous or not, is a term used for how fast an object travels in a particular direction.
The rate of change in position at a given point in time?
The rate of change in position at a given point in time is instantaneous speed, instantaneous velocity.
At a given moment in time instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous what?
velocity
At a given moment in time instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous .?
velocity
What is the difference between Instantaneous speed and instantaneous velocity?
Speed has only size. Velocity has size and direction.If three drivers are driving their cars at 50 mph headed north, 50 mph headed south, and50 mph headed east, their speeds are all equal, but their velocites are all different.Instantaneous speed is the speed at an instant in time. A point on the edge of an LP record hasthe same instantaneous speed whenever you look at it.Instantaneous velocity is the velocity ... speed and direction ... at an instant in time. A point on theedge of an LP record has a different instantaneous velocity every time you look at it. Even thoughthe speed is always the same, the direction keeps changing.
