If only total distance and total time are considered, the speed calculated (total distance / total time) is the average speed of the entire trip.

What is instantaneous stress?

When the stress remains constant even when the time is increased is known as instantaneous stress.


If the instantaneous velocity of an object is constant then so is acceleration.?

the velocity increases at a constant rate


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.


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.


What is the same instantanoeus speed and average speed?

different on constant and 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.


Define speed at which an object is moving at a given instant time?

If the displacement of the object (its position) can be described as a functional or algebric equation, you can find the instant speed of this object by calculating the derivative of its displacement equation, knowing that speed is the first derivative of position and acceleration, its second.


Would instantaneous velocity yield the same value as average velocity?

Only if the velocity is constant.


What is an object doing at the moment it's instantaneous acceleration is zero?

it can be moving at constant velocity or staying still


Is average acceleration equal to instantaneous acceleration for a uniformly accelerated car?

Average acceleration will be equal to instantaneous acceleration when an object has an uniform acceleration throughout its motion. Example : A car accelerating at 1m/s2 uniformly in a straight line.
