Homework Statement
What is the definition of average speed? How is average speed different from instantaneous speed? Explain.
Homework Equations
none
The Attempt at a Solution
Average speed is covering an equal amount of distance in an equal amount of time. Instantaneous speed, however, is speed at a specific time or given moment. While average speed is gradual over a period of time, instantaneous is just at one time.1. What is the difference between distance and displacement? Speed and velocity?
Homework Equations
none
The Attempt at a Solution
Distance is a physical length, while displacement is from start to finish in one only one direction, and straight. Speed is the rate in which an object travel distance, whilst velocity the rate of change of position.
