Instantaneous speed is a crucial concept in physics, helping us understand how fast an object is moving at a specific point in time. Unlike average speed, which considers the total distance traveled ...

We calculate the average speed of a projectile in the absence of air resistance, a quantity that is missing from the treatment of the problem in the literature. We then show that this quantity is ...

average speed – the speed of an object measured over the whole journey instantaneous speed – the speed of an object at the very instant of being measured Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object ...
