Instantaneous speed is an objects rate of motion at a particular time period or moment. Say that you and your calculus loving cat are hanging out one day and you decide to drop a ball. Recording the speed of a running.

In this lesson well learn about instantaneous speed the difference between it and average speed and the formulas for calculating both of them.
Crashes photons starting from rest and jumping to a certain speed are all examples of things or events where an instantaneous change in velocity occurs.
Practice finding the instantaneous velocity or speed from a position vs. During a typical trip to school your car will undergo a series of changes in its speed. If you were to inspect the speedometer. What is the meaning of instantaneous velocity.
What is its associated formula.
How do you solve problems that are associated with this physics concept. As the previous example shows average velocity and instantaneous velocity are not the same. Everything has a value assigned to it called instantaneous speed it is just impossible to measure instantaneous speed which is why average speed is. You can calculate the instantaneous speed of an object using limits.
