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 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 constant speed and speed?
Constant speed is constant velocity which means your going a certain speed in a straight line. Speed is just your speed at an exact moment also called instantaneous speed
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.

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.

It shows instantaneous speed.
What are difference between speed and velocity?
Velocity is speed with direction
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.
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.
What is the technical difference between speed and velocity?
The technical difference is that speed has no direction but velocity has one.
At a given moment in time instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous what?
velocity
