<em>Instantaneous velocity is equal to speed of the object at that particular instant.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of the object at that particular instant. It is also equal to speed of the object at that instant. It can be calculated by drawing a tangent to the position-time graph at that point and finding the tangent’s slope.
The first option ‘The ratio of change in position to the time interval during that change’ gives the average velocity of an object and not speed. Similarly the second option ‘the absolute value of the slope of position time graph’ gives the average speed.
What it means to be an autotroph is that you make your own food and plants do that by photosynthesis to be a heterotroph is finding food from other sources like autotrophs or even other heterotrophs
