Chapter 2, Problem 3Q

When an constant velocity, does its during any time interval differ from Its instantaneous velocity at any Instant? Explain.

To determine

When an object is moving with constant velocity, does average velocity at any time interval differs from its instantaneous velocity?

Answer to Problem 3Q

Solution:

No

Explanation of Solution

Instantaneous velocity is specific velocity at a particular time for an object in motion whereas average velocity is defined in terms of displacement over time.

The velocity at any point remains the same when an object is considered to move with constant velocity and is found to be equal to the instantaneous velocity.
