When is the instantaneous speed same as the average speed ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine when the instantaneous speed is the same as the average speed, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Instantaneous Speed**: This is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time. It is calculated as the limit of the average speed as the time interval approaches zero. - **Average Speed**: This is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. It gives an overall measure of speed over a period. ### Step 2: Set Up the Scenario Consider a body in motion that travels a distance \( s \) in a time \( t \). ...
