Answer:

Look to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Average velocity: is the average rate of change of displacement with

respect to time

Average velocity is a measure for distance traveled in a given time

We can calculate the average velocity by the rule
v=(s)/(t)

where s is the displacement and t is the time

Instantaneous velocity: is the velocity of an object in motion at a

specific point (x , t)

instantaneous velocity is the limit of velocity as the change in time

approaches zero

We can calculate the instantaneous velocity by the rule
v=(ds)/(dt)

Average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity when

acceleration is zero
