If the velocity is constant (i.e., there is no acceleration). Terminal velocity is an example, although any constant velocity would fit this description.

When is the instantaneous velocity equal to avg velocity?

Mainly, when the velocity doesn't change. Also, in the case of varying velocity, the instantaneous velocity might, for a brief instant, be equal to the average velocity.


In which type of motion is the average velocity of an object equal to its instantaneous velocity?

The average velocity of an object is equal to its instantaneous velocity in uniform motion. Uniform motion occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in a straight line, resulting in a constant velocity throughout the motion.


When is the average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity?

Average velocity equals the average speed if (and only if) the motion is in the same direction. If not, the average speed, being the average of the absolute value of the velocity, will be larger.


What will be the body said ----- velocities when average and instantaneous velocities are equal?

When the average velocity of a body is equal to its instantaneous velocity, it means that the body is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. This indicates that the body's motion is uniform, with no acceleration or deceleration occurring.


Does the instantaneous speed ever equal the magnitude of its average velocity?

Yes. For a start, this happens when the object moves at a constant velocity. Also, if moving in a straight line, even if the object changes speed there must needs be a moment when its instantaneous speed is equal to its average speed - since it cannot change speed suddenly, it must do so gradually.

In uniform motion.


When average velocity is equal to its instantaneous velocity acceleration?

you are still. motion is at rest.


Is ta possible for an object to have average velocity equal to its instantaneous velocity?

Yes, yes it is


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.

What does velocity divided by the time interval equal?

It equals an undefined entity. The average acceleration of an object equals the CHANGE in velocity divided by the time interval. The term "change in velocity" is not the same as the term "velocity", "average velocity", or "instantaneous velocity".


When will the average acceleration be equal to instantaneous velocity?

Never.Average velocity is total displacement (final position minus initial position) divided by the total time: vave = (xf-xi)/tAcceleration is the rate at which your velocity is changing or change in velocity over time: a= (vf-vi)/tThese two quantities may have the same numerical value but will never have the same units.Average velocity for a trip can equal instantaneous velocity at a certain point during the trip, however, at any time during a trip in which the velocity is constant or at half way through the total time of a trip where the acceleration is constant.
