Instantaneous speed is your speed in a given moment. The speedometer in your car and the radar gun that cops use both give a value in instantaneous speed.
The disctinction here is to not confuse instantaneous speed with average speed, which is calculated over a set distance. To calculate average speed (V) you need to divide the distance travelled (D) by the time of travel (T).
V= D/T

instantaneous speed.
An objects speed at a particular moment in time is called?
Instantaneous Speed.
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and speed?
Instantaneous speed is speed measured at a specific time. Speed is an average.
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.
Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?
It shows instantaneous speed.
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.
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.
Does light speed accelerate or is it instantaneous velocity?
Instantaneous.
