Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object in motion at a specific point in time

You can only define that specific point in time by measuring it against two other points in time, the one that came before, and the one that came afterwards. And you would need to do the same with the position of the object. The specific time and the specific location can only be defined relative to other points of time and position. As Einstein once famously said: "There ain't no free lunch anywhere, bub." You cannot simply conjure up a point of time and space and measure it without external references.

Anyway, now you are (deliberately) diverting the conversation after we have already agreed that melting is not an instantaneous event.

So, bullshit on you, bub.

Ok snotty, you are no doubt a super genius!





time and distance are given, calculate the 'dimensions' of point a.



I suppose I better draw a more complete picture since I'd hate to confuse snotty more than he already is.

Point 'a' is a point on a graph that denotes the instantaneous speed of an object.

quote:

I defined it by holding my finger on my stop watch then measured the distance. I divided nothing. then pointed out it is the instantaneous speed, or the distance travelled was 5 meters the time it took was 3 seconds.

Physics Glossary - instantaneous speed - Definition: When the speed of an object is constantly changing, the instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment (instant) in time.

Nope, to be true to the definition in your example you would need to take some interval of time between zero and three seconds for your instantaneous speed. All you have in 5m/3sec is average speed while ignoring changing velocity. The smaller your interval the more precise your approximation of instantaneous speed. The definition of I.S. excludes using the entire stop watch measurement because velocity is changing. Einstein also famously said: "You gotta dance with the definition that brung you, bub."

quote:

The instantaneous speed of an object is not to be confused with the average speed. Average speed is a measure of the distance traveled in a given period of time;

The ONLY thing I used was a ruler and a stop watch to determine the distance and the time it took for the displacement

really snotty? says who?

ORIGINAL: Real0ne

The subject matter is NOT how you calculate velocity, or an average, it is 'instantaneous', as in the instantaneous value at a precise point in time, exactly what the definition says, and instantaneous applies to speed, voltage, temperature in precisely the same way. Nice try anyway.

AND

I did not say the graph I posted was velocity, I said only distance and time. You took it upon yourself to imagine it is velocity, not that it matters since instantaneous velocity does exist, in which case you would use the deltas to calculate the instantaneous velocity.


"Instantaneous velocity," like any limit, is defined at a specific value of time t. It is purely logical; it can never be observed or measured. To measure a velocity, it is necessary to know both a distance Δs and a time Δt, however small. A body in motion is in motion during every interval of time in which it moves.

choke on it!

with the specific point placed on the graph at a specific time for the specific distance you dont derive anything because it already shows the instaneous value for speed and distance

I put up examples meant for kids and you still dont get it
