No. Average speed is the rate an object is moving measured over more than an instant, such as one second, one minute, or something like that. Instantaneous speed, however, is the limit of the average speed as the interval of time approaches zero, i.e. at a given instant.

What is inertia and orbital motion?
The natural tendency of an object to not move (if it wasn't moving), or to keep moving (if it was moving). Inertia is the characteristic that a object will want to stay at rest or in motion. You can feel this in a buss when it suddenly moves this is why you get sent backwards.
How does force affect the motion of an object?
If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
A force can cause an object to change its speed and or direction?
A force can cause an object to change its speed or direction. A force causes acceleration, as given by Newton's equation F=ma, where f is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Acceleration occurs when something either changes direction, like a tether ball is accelerating when it goes around the pole, or when the objects speeds up or slows down.Forces give energy to the object it is acting on.The more mass an object has, the harder it is to move, stop, or change the speed or direction of the object.An object will not start moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not stop moving unless a force acts on it.An object will not change speed unless a force acts on it.An object will not change direction unless a force acts on it.unbalanced
When you stretch out a spring at what point would you have the greatest potential energy?
A spring has maximum potential energy at maximum displacement from equilibrium. This means that the greatest potential energy will occur when a spring is stretched as far as it will stretch or compressed as tightly as it will compress. In an oscillating system, where an object attached to a spring is moving back and forth at a given frequency, the object will oscillate about the equilibrium point, and the potential energy of the system will be greatest (and equal) when the object is farthest from equilibrium on either side.
Does an object always moves in the direction of the inbalanced force?
No. Direction of force and velocity may be different. Suppose a thread is tied with a toy car. We pull that thread in about 45 degrees with horizontal. But car moves on land. So, In such casses work done can be calculated by formula, W = F.s cos theta
What is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant?
average speed
What is instant speed?
the rate at which an object is moving at a given moment in time.
What is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant in time is called?
velocity is your answer.
What is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant called?
speed if no direction is needed velocity if direction is needed
What is the speed of an object at any given instant?
The speed of an object at any given instant is relative.
When an object is in motion how can the average velocity be calculated?
it can be calculated at a particular instant as it is total displacement in given time
What's the difference between instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration?
Instantaneous velocity is the rate at which an object is moving in a uniform direction, distance per unit time, at any given instant in time. instantaneous acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity is changing at any given instant in time
The speed of an object at any given instant?
Answer: Instantaneous Speed
What Is the speed of an object at any instant of time.?
Instantaneous speed-the speed of an object at any instant time. When you ride in a car, the instantaneous speed is given by the speedometer.
Because the speed of an object can change from one instant to the next dividing the total distance covered by the time of travel given?
Average speed = distance/time
How far an object moving in a given of time?
speed
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.
