The instantaneous velocity is the limit of the average velocity, as the time interval tends to zero. If you are not familiar with limits, basically you make the time interval very small and calculate the average velocity.

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.


What is the difference between average acceleration and instantaneous acceleration?

Average acceleration is the average of the accelerations acquired in the whole journey by a body while instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration of the body at any particular instant of time.


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


Find average acceleration and instanious acceleration?

average acceleration is the average of the acceleration of a body in its entire motion where as instantaneous acceleration is the rate of change of velocity at an instant. it may be a function of time or velocity or displacement.


How can you obtain the average velocity and instantaneous velocity from a displacement - time graph?

You cannot because a displacement-time graph is concerned only with radial motion: displacement from a fixed point of reference. Any transverse motion is completely ignored. Thus, if you had a body going around in a circle about the point of reference, its speed would be recorded zero!

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.


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

Yes, but in uniform motion.

Can the average speed of a body be zero and can the average velocity of a moving body be zero?

Since speed is a scalar quantity, the only way the average speed can be zero is if the instantaneous speed is at all times zero, making it not a moving body, so no on the average speed. The average velocity, on the other hand, can easily be zero. The simplest example is you running in a circle.


Consider the instantaneous velocity of a body this velocity is always in the direction of what the net force at that instant the least resistance at that instant or the motion at that instant?

The instantaneous velocity of a body is always in the direction of the resultant force acting on it at that instant. It is influenced by the net force and not necessarily by the least resistance or the current motion of the body.


What is the importance of uniform acceleration graph in physics what is instantaneous velocity?

Uniform acceleration graphs help visualize how an object's velocity changes over time. They show a constant rate of change in velocity, which can be used to calculate properties like displacement and time. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time, representing the object's speed and direction at a given instant.

What is instantaneous centre of rotation?

The instantaneous center of rotation is a point in a rigid body that has zero velocity at a specific moment in time. It is the point around which all parts of the rigid body have rotation at that moment. It helps to analyze the motion of the rigid body at that instant.


What do you mean by instantaneous speed?

Instantaneous speed is the speed of a body at any one instant. There is really no such thing as the instantaneous speed, it is merely the average speed over a very short space of time.
