Like.
It's not possible. Instantaneous velocity is part of the mathematical model. In Newtonian physics you can postulate that a particle... -
MMike_bb replied to the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity.I read about speedometer but I have a doubt. Speedometer has finite number of generated impulses (per second or per 1meter) but on the...

MMike_bb replied to the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity.See answer "No, the limit of those lines is the tangent line. " Do you agree with this answer?
-
MMike_bb reacted to weirdoguy's post in the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity with
Agree.
No, the limit of those lines is the tangent line. You are confusing limit with the sequence and whether or not it's part of the... -
MMike_bb replied to the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity.No. Limit doesn't mean the process of approaching to the tangent line itself. Limit is just a number (coefficient of tangent line slope).
-
MMike_bb replied to the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity.Limit allows us to make jump from the secant to the tangent.

MMike_bb reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity with Agree.
So do you understand that you choose a nearby point and use those two points to determine a slope. Then you choose another point that's...

MMike_bb reacted to weirdoguy's post in the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity with Agree.
Yes, and I would say you would do yourself a huge favour if you'd learn what limit is, mathematically. I know that the definition is...

Can you understand the slope of a line that is tangent to a curve at a point? This is the same issue. How can a point, which has no...

The average velocity is the rate of change of position over a time interval, while the instantaneous velocity is the rate of change of...

MMike_bb reacted to TensorCalculus's post in the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity with Like.
One, very unmathematical (and a bit imprecise), way to think about instantaneous velocity intuitively is by thinking of the speed the...

MMike_bb reacted to PeroK's post in the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity with Like.
This seems to me perfectly intuitive. If instantaneous anything has any meaning it must be the limit of smaller and smaller averages...

MMike_bb reacted to fresh_42's post in the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity with Like.
I read your question as the process that uses secants to approach a tangent. The point where the tangent is drawn is the...

MHello! I have difficulty in understanding an instantaneous velocity. Some books say that average velocity more and more approximate...
