Instantaneous speed cannot be measured because it is a theoretical construct. It is the speed that an object has at one particular moment, but measuring the speed of an object necessarily involves several moments so you can only measure the speed over some finite amount of time.

An objects speed at a particular moment in time is called?
Instantaneous Speed.
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 speed at any instant time known as?
Instantaneous speed is speed at any instant in time.
What is the speed you read on a speedometer?
instantaneous speed. =)
What is Speed at a particular instant in time is?
That is called the instantaneous speed.
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and speed?
Instantaneous speed is speed measured at a specific time. Speed is an average.
Speed measured in an infinately small time interval?
instantaneous speed
Slope of a displacement time graph?
It is the instantaneous speed in the direction in which the displacement is measured.
How does a car average speed differ from its instantaneous speed?
The average speed of a car is how fast it averages over a span of time. Instantaneous speed is how fast the car is moving at any given time which is measured using a real-time speedometer.
How does a car's average speed differ from instantaneous speed?
The average speed of a car is how fast it averages over a span of time. Instantaneous speed is how fast the car is moving at any given time which is measured using a real-time speedometer.
What can speed be measured by?
it can be measured by distance covered and time taken. Speedometer is a device to measure the speed Average Speed = total distance/ total time; speedometers use other correlates to estimate instantaneous speed.
How does a car average speed differ from its instantaneous apeed?
The average speed of a car is how fast it averages over a span of time. Instantaneous speed is how fast the car is moving at any given time which is measured using a real-time speedometer.
How does a car's average speed differ it's instantaneous speed?
The average speed of a car is how fast it averages over a span of time. Instantaneous speed is how fast the car is moving at any given time which is measured using a real-time speedometer.
Is instantaneous speed final speed?
No instantaneous speed is not final speed.
How is instantaneous speed different from average?
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.
Does the speedometer of a car read average speed or instantaneous speed?
instantaneous speed
Does the speedometer on a vehicle show the average speed or instantaneous speed?
instantaneous speed.
