Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is the displacement of a particle divided into a time in which the displacement occurs. Instead, instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the time interval approaches zero.

In physics expressions


Average speed=(x_(2)-x_(1)  )/(t_(2)-t_(1)  )

Instantaneous speed=
lim_(t \to \infty) (x)/(t) =(dx)/(dt)

b) Speed ​​denotes distance traveled divided by time, and instantaneous speed measures how quickly and in which direction does it move
