Average speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).
If I leave the house at 8:00 in the morning, drive 20 miles to the office, stay in my
office until late afternoon, leave the office and drive 20 miles home, and arrive home
at 6:00 in the evening, my average driving speed for the day is
(40 miles) divided by (10 hours) = 4 miles per hour.
Average speed is not a vector quantity. It has no direction.
The simplest way to find average speed is to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
By dividing the total distance travelled by the total time spent.
Instantaneous speed is what you see on your speedometer.
Average speed is: how far you drove - divided by - how long it took.
the distance traveled divided by the time to travel that distance and measured in m/s
Average speed is the distance something covers divided by the amount of time it takes to cover that distance. This calculates the speed of the object overall as it is moving.
It is the total distance travelled by the total time taken to travel that distance.
instantaneous speed.
Only if speed is constant. There can be no acceleration if the average speed is equal to the instantaneous speed.
It shows instantaneous speed.
Instantaneous speed is speed measured at a specific time. Speed is an average.

Instantaneous speed is speed measured at a specific time. Speed is an average.
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
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.
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.
The concept of average speed is somewhat simpler than "instantaneous speed".
different on constant and instantaneous speed
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.
No. Instantaneous speed is shown on the speedometer.
