Yes, the average velocity of the body can be same as the instantaneous velocity at a small time interval.The values of the average and the instantaneous velocities approach each other , as the length of time interval is decreased.

Can the average velocity of a body be the same as the instantaneous velocity?

Yes, but in uniform motion.


Would instantaneous velocity yield the same value as average velocity?

Instantaneous velocity and average velocity are not the same. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific moment in time, while average velocity is the total displacement over a given time interval. In general, they will not have the same value unless the motion is at a constant velocity.


Can the average speed ever equal the instantaneous speed?

When there is no acceleration or when there is constant acceleration. When either of these cases is present, the graph of velocity versus time will be linear. When there is linear velocity, the average velocity will equal the instantaneous velocity at any point on the graph.


What Is the difference between velocity and average velocity?

Velocity is an instantaneous measure. Mathematically, it is the limiting value of the change in the position vector divided by the change in time as the latter tends to zero. Over larger time periods, the average velocity is the total change in the position vector divided by the total change in time. If velocity is constant, the average velocity will be the same as the instantaneous velocity.


Are instantaneous velocity and acceleration the same?

no.


Compare and contrast velocity and instantaneous speed?

velocity is just a general term for speed (it could be average velocity or instantaneous velocity). Instantaneous velocity/speed (same thing) is the speed at that second. If you are familiar with calculus, it is the derivative of the position graph. Whereas average velocity is how fast the object is going in, for example, 1 hour, it is the speed that is maintained the whole hour (or the average) Instantaneous would be that at the second, at for example t=1.425, the speed is 24m/h . something along those lines


When is the average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity?

Average velocity equals the average speed if (and only if) the motion is in the same direction. If not, the average speed, being the average of the absolute value of the velocity, will be larger.


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".


Does the instantaneous speed ever equal the magnitude of its average velocity?

Yes. For a start, this happens when the object moves at a constant velocity. Also, if moving in a straight line, even if the object changes speed there must needs be a moment when its instantaneous speed is equal to its average speed - since it cannot change speed suddenly, it must do so gradually.


When will the average acceleration be equal to instantaneous velocity?

Never.Average velocity is total displacement (final position minus initial position) divided by the total time: vave = (xf-xi)/tAcceleration is the rate at which your velocity is changing or change in velocity over time: a= (vf-vi)/tThese two quantities may have the same numerical value but will never have the same units.Average velocity for a trip can equal instantaneous velocity at a certain point during the trip, however, at any time during a trip in which the velocity is constant or at half way through the total time of a trip where the acceleration is constant.


When is instantaneous acceleration and average acceleration the same?

Instantaneous acceleration and average acceleration are the same when an object's acceleration is constant over the entire time interval being considered. This means that the object's velocity is changing at a constant rate, resulting in both the instantaneous and average accelerations being equal.


Can the average velocity of a body be the same as the instateneous velocity?

Yes, But in uniform motion only.
