Instantaneous Rate of Change and Velocity
Channel: Andrew Misseldine
Date: 2021-01-26

In this video, we introduce the so-called Velocity Problem. We explain how the average rate of change of a distance/position function gives us the average speed/velocity of the object. Likewise, we explain how the instantaneous rate of change of a distance/position function gives us the instantaneous speed/velocity of the object.
