Instantaneous speed

Measures how fast wheels turn at that exact moment

Speed of vehicles at a particular instant

Real-time speed data

Distance travelled in a very short period of time

$6 m/s$

Instantaneous speed has same value throughout journey

Does not change

ext{speed} = rac{ ext{distance}}{ ext{time}}

Instantaneous speed at each moment
