Understanding Average and Instantaneous Velocity

What is the main difference between average velocity and instantaneous velocity?

• Average velocity is always greater than instantaneous velocity.

• Instantaneous velocity is calculated over a time interval, while average velocity is at a specific moment.

• Average velocity and instantaneous velocity are calculated using the same method.

• Average velocity is calculated over a time interval, while instantaneous velocity is at a specific moment.

How is average velocity calculated?

• By dividing the change in position by the change in time.

• By taking the derivative of the position function.

• By adding the initial and final positions.

• By multiplying the change in position by the change in time.
