Average Velocity Quiz

How do we describe the instantaneous speed (or velocity) of an object?

How can we differentiate average velocity from instantaneous velocity?

Determine the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t = 2s.

Calculate for the instantaneous velocity of a car with a position as a function of time equation of x(t) = 5t3 + 6t4 + 5 at t = 0.25 s.
