NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question
What does the instantaneous velocity at an instant t represent in terms of the average velocity?
It is the limit of the average velocity as the time interval approaches zero.
It is equal to the average velocity over the entire time interval.
It is always greater than the average velocity during the interval.
It represents the total distance traveled divided by total time.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The instantaneous velocity at an instant t is defined as the limit of the average velocity as the time interval Δt becomes infinitesimally small, as stated in the NCERT context.
