What does velocity divided by the time interval equal?
It equals an undefined entity. The average acceleration of an object equals the CHANGE in velocity divided by the time interval. The term "change in velocity" is not the same as the term "velocity", "average velocity", or "instantaneous velocity".
Can the average velocity of a body be the same as the instateneous velocity?
Yes, But in uniform motion only.
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
Instantaneous speed at an instant is equal to magnitude of instantaneous velocity at that instant Why is it so?
Instantaneous velocity mean change of displacement in extremely small amount time. (in math way, taking[ lim t--->0 (change in displacements/change in time) ]. instantaneous speed is the same expect displacement change to distance. So,because of very very small change in time, magnitude of distance and displacement will be same for any direction the object is moving.
Does a speedmeter give instantaneous speed or velocity?
Velocity is a vector quantity, so a different direction makes a different velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity, where direction makes no difference. Since a speedometer reads the same regardless of direction of motion, it is providing speed, not velocity.
