Question
True or False When a ball rolls down a ramp, its instantaneous velocity is always zero. Justify your answer.
Step 1
Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific point in time. It is the limit of the average velocity as the time interval approaches zero. Show more…

True or false? Give an explanation for your answer. If an object moves with the same average velocity over every time interval, then its average velocity equals its instantaneous velocity at any time.
Key Concept: The Derivative
How do We Measure Speed?
True or False The speed of a particle at $t=a$ is given by the value of the velocity at $t=a$ . Justify your answer.
