alleryInstantaneous velocity is found by taking a limit of the:
AAverage one
BLargest one
CSmallest one
DConstant one
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Average one
1. Average velocity is measured over shorter and shorter intervals.
2. The interval is then allowed to shrink to nothing.
3. The limit of those averages is the instantaneous velocity.
