Average velocity and instantaneous velocity are generally different quantities. Can they ever be equal for a specific type of motion?

Answer :

Answer:

this is possible if object is moving in straight line motion.

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement during a given time interval

so it is defined as

[tex]v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}[/tex]

while instantaneous velocity is defined as the velocity of an object at a given instant of time.

So it is given by

[tex]v_{ins} = \frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

now if the instantaneous velocity at a given moment is equal to the average velocity if the ratio of displacement in given interval of time and the time interval ratio will be equal to the instantaneous velocity.

So this is possible if object is moving in straight line motion.
