Question

If you get a ticket for speeding, it is based on your average speed or instantaneous speed? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Instantaneous speed

Explanation:

Usually the speed measuring guns are used to measure the speed at a certain instant, so the measured speed is instantaneous.

The average speed is determined by the expression final distance minus initial distance divided by time

$v_{aver} =\frac{x_{f}- x_{i}}{t}$

The instantaneous speed is determined in the same way as the average, but with the exception that the travel displacements are shorter (very close one each other).
