What is instantaneous velocity??

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time. It is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time at that exact instant.

For example, if a car's speedometer reads 60 mph, that is its instantaneous velocity at that moment.

v(t)=lim⁡Δt→0ΔxΔt=dxdtv(t) = \lim_{\Delta t \to 0} \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{dx}{dt}
