Explanation:

A speedometer measures how fast an object is moving at a particular instant. Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Position refers to the location of an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Since the speedometer shows the rate of motion at a given instant, it represents instantaneous speed.
