Why might a car's instantaneous speed differ from its average speed during a trip?
Instantaneous speed is always constant, while average speed varies.
Average speed only considers the starting and ending points, not the path taken.
A car might stop, speed up, or slow down at various points during the trip.
Instantaneous speed is calculated using total distance, while average speed uses total displacement.

On a position-time graph, how is instantaneous speed determined?
By calculating the total distance traveled divided by the total time.
By drawing a line connecting two points and finding its slope.
By finding the slope of the graph at that exact point.
By dividing the position value by the time value at that point.
