Acceleration = rate of change of speed = (change of speed) / (time interval) = (25 - 5) / 4 = 20/4 = 5 m/s2
Suppose you accelerate in your car from stopped to 50 km.hr-1. When you were stopped your instantaneous speed was zero. At the end of the period of acceleration your instantaneous speed was 50 km.hr-1. If your rate of acceleration was constant then your average speed was 25 km.hr-1.
Derivatives are used to find instantaneous rate at which a function changes.
It is impossible to determine acceleration simply from time and distance.
If he started out from "rest" (zero speed), then his average acceleration for the 5 seconds is50/5 = 10 meters per second2
The average rate of acceleration is (11/5) = 2.2 m/sec2 .
average acceleration is the average of the acceleration of a body in its entire motion where as instantaneous acceleration is the rate of change of velocity at an instant. it may be a function of time or velocity or displacement.
Instantaneous velocity is the rate at which an object is moving in a uniform direction, distance per unit time, at any given instant in time. instantaneous acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity is changing at any given instant in time
The answer is: Instantaneous Acceleration.
No, velocity is the instantaneous speed of an object, the rate of change would be the acceleration of the object.
the velocity increases at a constant rate
If the displacement of the object (its position) can be described as a functional or algebric equation, you can find the instant speed of this object by calculating the derivative of its displacement equation, knowing that speed is the first derivative of position and acceleration, its second.
Suppose you accelerate in your car from stopped to 50 km.hr-1. When you were stopped your instantaneous speed was zero. At the end of the period of acceleration your instantaneous speed was 50 km.hr-1. If your rate of acceleration was constant then your average speed was 25 km.hr-1.
"Constant rate" implies there is no acceleration - acceleration is zero.
It's the change in velocity, the rate of change (derivative) which is instantaneous velocity. Acceleration can be positive or negative, meaning increased or decreased velocity respectively.
