Question

question 2 (1 point)
what is the difference between instantaneous velocity and average velocity?
a) average velocity happens in a particular instant, instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object over a longer period of time.
b) instantaneous velocity is never right, average velocity is always right
c) instantaneous velocity happens in a particular instant, average velocity is the velocity of an object over a longer period of time.
d) none of the above

Explanation:

• Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a particular instant.
• Average velocity is calculated over a longer period of time (total displacement divided by total time).
• Option a has the definitions reversed.
• Option b is incorrect as both can be valid in their respective contexts.
• Option c has the correct definitions.

Answer:

C. Instantaneous velocity happens in a particular instant, Average velocity is the velocity of an object over a longer period of time.
