Answer:

Instantaneous velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration = rate of change of velocity

Average velocity = total displacement divided by total time taken

Position = It shows the location of the object

Instantaneous velocity = It is the velocity of an object at a particular instant.

The term that describes how fast and in what direction an object is moving at a particular moment is "instantaneous velocity". It is basically equal to the derivative of position wrt time.
