Define instantaneous velocity of a particle?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is the limiting value of average velocity as the time interval approaches to zero.
`vecv=underset(/_\to0)Lim(/_\vecr)/(/_\t)=(dvecr)/(dt)` where `/_\vecr=/_\xhati+/_\yhatj`

Note: The direction of velocity at any point on the path of an object is tangential to the path at that point and is in the direction of motion.
