What is instantaneous velocity, and how do you find it on a velocity vs time graph?

A: It all the points of velocity added together

B: It’s the velocity at a particular time

wer: B. Instantaneous velocity simply is the given velocity at a particular instant. For example at 10 seconds a runner was running at 2 m/s. You can find it on the v vs t graph by simply picking any point and looking at the velocity on the y axis. A and D are wrong because it doesn’t provide anything meaningful. C is wrong because the slope of the v vs t grade is acceleration.

C: It’s the slope of the v vs t graph

D: It is the velocity the instant the graph starts
