[QUOTE="Tom.G, post: 6052099, member: 581973"] Not as accurate as [USER=272035]@Drakkith[/USER] put it, but in everyday words consider this: [list] [*] You are somewhat near a roadway and you want to know the position of a particular car on the road and how fast it is going as it passes you. [*] You can measure or estimate the time it takes to travel a given distance, and you can measure or estimate its position. [*] If you estimate its speed you can not know its exact position because it has moved while you where measuring the speed. [*] Also you can estimate its position at any instant but that will not give you its speed because speed = distance/ time and an instant is zero elapsed time. [/list] Cheers, Tom [/QUOTE]
