If the instantaneous velocity of an object remains constand can its instantaneous speed change?
No, if the instantaneous velocity of an object remains constant, then its instantaneous speed cannot change. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the velocity is constant, it means both the speed and direction are constant.
At a given moment in time instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous what?
Instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity that only indicates how fast an object is moving.
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.
What is the difference between instantaneous velocity and instantaneous speed?
Instantaneous velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and direction of an object at a specific moment. Instantaneous speed, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity representing only the magnitude of the velocity without regard to direction.
Compare and contrast velocity and instantaneous speed?
velocity is just a general term for speed (it could be average velocity or instantaneous velocity). Instantaneous velocity/speed (same thing) is the speed at that second. If you are familiar with calculus, it is the derivative of the position graph. Whereas average velocity is how fast the object is going in, for example, 1 hour, it is the speed that is maintained the whole hour (or the average) Instantaneous would be that at the second, at for example t=1.425, the speed is 24m/h . something along those lines
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.

No, if the instantaneous velocity of an object remains constant, then its instantaneous speed cannot change. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the velocity is constant, it means both the speed and direction are constant.

Instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity that only indicates how fast an object is moving.
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.

Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?
A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which represents the current speed of the vehicle at any given moment. It does not show average speed or velocity.
At a given moment in time instantaneous speed can be though of as the magnitude of instantaneous of what?
At a given moment in time, instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity of an object. Instantaneous velocity is the rate of change of an object's position at that specific moment in time.
At a given moment in time instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous .?
velocity
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.
