    This document discusses average and instantaneous velocity. It defines average velocity as the change in distance over the change in time. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a particular point in time and can be estimated by calculating the average velocity over a small interval of time before and after that point. The document provides examples of calculating average velocity over an interval and instantaneous velocity at a specific time using distance-time graphs.

    Example: A possible graph of the distance traveled by a car over a 2 hour time interval is shown.

    a) What is the average velocity over last hour of the trip?

    b) What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 1 hour?

    Now let's generalize and go a little deeper...


    Example (pg 85): Average Velocity can be described as...

    Average Velocity=

    A good estimate for the instantaneous velocity at a given point can be calculated by computing the average velocity for some small interval of time... METHOD 1. Find a left secant slope 2. Find a right secant slope 3. Average the left and right slopes

    Example (pg 84): Calculate the instantaneous velocity at t = 1 hr.
