Our intuition tells us that a moving object has a speed (an instantaneous speed) at a particular instant in time. However at an given instant in time neither the position of the object nor the …

We can improve the detail of our description of the motion by making the time interval shorter. The extreme, or limit, of making the time interval shorter is called a instant. The velocity over an …

The quantity that tells us how fast an object is moving anywhere along its path is the instantaneous velocity, usually called simply velocity. It is the average velocity between two …

In this experiment you will investigate the relationship between instantaneous and average velocities, and see how a series of average velocities can be used to deduce an instantaneous …

This is the average rate of change of the function f over the interval [x; x + h]. Taking the limit as h ! 0 gives the (instantaneous) rate of change at the point x. Example 1: The population of a …

ctory physics courses. In this work we present a complementary teaching proposal that c. n help students to get a better grasp of . nstantaneous velocity. The approach is based on Galileo's …

Average Velocity: The velocity over a time period. Velocity at 6 seconds, at 7 seconds, at 9.85342 seconds are all equal to 1.0 m/s. All are at a specific point in time and therefore instantaneous …
