Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of a body at a particular:

Answer: instant of time.

  • A instant of time
  • B fixed distance
  • C displacement value
  • D chosen direction

Correct answer: A. instant of time

Explanation: Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific moment.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context

Equations of motion, projectile motion, relative velocity. Foundation of all mechanics.
