You might go at 50 mph for a while, then slow to 20 mph. Your instantaneous speed would be one of these two, depending on when you made the measurement. But your average speed over the distance would be somehwere between 50 and 20, depending on how long you went at each speed.

What is the same instantanoeus speed and average speed?
different on constant and instantaneous speed
Does the speedometer of a car read average speed or instantaneous speed?
instantaneous speed
Does the speedometer on a vehicle show the average speed or instantaneous speed?
instantaneous speed.
To justify with calculation average speed is equal to instantaneous speed?
Only if speed is constant. There can be no acceleration if the average speed is equal to the instantaneous speed.
How is instantaneous speed different from average?
The average speed is the speed that it takes to travel a certain distance in a certain time. Average speed is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to get there. Instantaneous speed is a certain speed at any given time.
Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?
It shows instantaneous speed.
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and speed?
Instantaneous speed is speed measured at a specific time. Speed is an average.
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?
Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
How are average speed and instantaneous speed alike?
Average speed and instantaneous speed are both measurements of the speed of an object. The instantaneous speed measures how fast the object is going at a particular moment, while average speed shows how fast the object was moving in total over time.
What do you mean by instantaneous speed?
Instantaneous speed is the speed of a body at any one instant. There is really no such thing as the instantaneous speed, it is merely the average speed over a very short space of time.
Why do you use average speed?
The concept of average speed is somewhat simpler than "instantaneous speed".
Is the average speed shown on the spedometer?
No. Instantaneous speed is shown on the speedometer.
