Question

26. The problem with calculating the speed of an object simply by dividing distance by time is​

Answer 1

We obtain the average velocity instead of the instantaneus velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem with calculating speed in this way is that an average speed is being calculated and not an instantaneous speed at a given point.

`V_(average) =(x)/(t) \\where:\\x = distance\\t = interval of time`

To calculate the instantaneous speed, a very small space interval must be measured at a given time.
