Yes. It can be negative. With regards to 1 dimensional motion, if it is negative it indicates that the object at that particular instant in time is moving towards smaller values of x.

Is it possible to have positive instantaneous tangential velocity and negative instantaneous tangential acceleration?

Yes, it is possible to have positive instantaneous tangential velocity and negative instantaneous tangential acceleration. This occurs when an object is moving in the positive direction but slowing down due to a decrease in its speed.


What is instantaneous velocity in math?

if under uniform acceleration or deceleration v = u + (a*t) where: v = instantaneous velocity u = initial velocity a = acceleration (negative if decelerating) t = time elapsed


Is instantaneous velocity a vector or scalar quantity?

Instantaneous velocity is a vector quantity.


What is the Instantaneous velocity?

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity in difference displacement in shortest time or specific time interval.


Does light speed accelerate or is it instantaneous velocity?

Instantaneous.


Instantaneous acceleration describes how fast a is changing at a specific instant?

Instantaneous acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity is changing at a particular instant in time. It can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or zero (constant velocity). It is calculated as the derivative of velocity with respect to time.


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.


You want correct formula for instantaneous velocity?

v(t) = dsdt This should be the formula for instantaneous velocity.


What is the relationship between average velocity and instantaneous velocity?

The average velocity over an time interval is the average of the instantaneous velocities for all instants over that period. Conversely, as the time interval is reduced, the average velocity comes closer and closer to the instantaneous velocity.


What is a instantaneous velocity?

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific instant in time. It is the rate of change of position of an object with respect to time at that exact moment. This instant velocity may differ from the average velocity over a given time interval.


Would instantaneous velocity yield the same value as average velocity?

Instantaneous velocity and average velocity are not the same. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific moment in time, while average velocity is the total displacement over a given time interval. In general, they will not have the same value unless the motion is at a constant velocity.


Can the average velocity of the body be the same as instantaneous velocity?

Yes, the average velocity of the body can be same as the instantaneous velocity at a small time interval.The values of the average and the instantaneous velocities approach each other , as the length of time interval is decreased.
