When we talk about how a Ferrari obtains a top speed of 349 km/h, are we referring to average speed or instantaneous? How do you know?

Answer:

Instantaneous

Step-by-step explanation:

The top speed of a car refers to its instantaneous speed. The average speed is the total distance it travels divided by the time it takes.

The answer is [ instantaneous ]

The average speed of a car is the speed the car keeps constant through a certain distance. Notice how the questions says the Ferrari reaches a top speed of 349km/h. The top speed is not the same as the average speed. Instantaneous means done right at that moment. The top speed was reached once and at that specific moment which makes that the correct answer.

Best of Luck!
