MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE

Very Short Question Answers

Q1. How is average velocity different from instantaneous velocity?

Ans. Average velocity: The ratio between total displacement to the total time is called average velocity. 

$$ Average \:Velocity =\frac{Total \:displcement}{Total \:time}=\frac{\bigtriangleup x}{\bigtriangleup t}$$

 Instantaneous velocity: The velocity of particle at any instant of time is called instantaneous velocity.

$$ Instantaneous \:Velocity= \frac{\mathrm{d}x }{\mathrm{d} t}$$
