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.


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.


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.


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.


When an object moves with inconstant velocity does its average velocity differ from its instantaneous velocity?

Generally it is a Yes. Instantaneous velocity is the exact velocity at a particular time in the course of the movement. However, average velocity is the average of all the instantaneous velocity over a period of time. It is also known as speed in everyday life. As a result, the movement of an object over a time period under varying velocity denotes a varying instantaneous velocity which could be different from the average velocity. It is however, possible that the instantaneous velocity equates to the average velocity at a certain point over the duration of movement. For example, a ball is traveling at instantaneous velocity of 99m/s at t=1s , 100m/s at t=2s and 101m/s at t=3s. the average velocity over the 3s period is hence 100m/s which coincides with the instantaneous speed at t=2s.


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.


When will the average velocity be equal to instantaneous velocity?

In uniform motion.
