Answer:
In high jump as well as long jump, instateneous velocity is more important than average velocity.
In relay races and 400m races, average is more important than instateneous velocity.
Explanation:
Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of anything in motion at a specific point in time. This is determined quite similarly to average velocity, however, we look at the period of time so that it approaches zero. If there is a standard velocity over a period of time, its average and instantaneous velocities may be the same. Instantaneous velocity is calculated as the limit as t approaches zero of the change in d over the change in t.
The range or length of long jump depends on the instantenous velocity of the jump and the height of high jump depends on the instantenous velocity of the height.
A person with greater average velocity wins a race. The average velocity of anything or object is referred to as its total displacement divided by the total time taken. That is to say, it is the rate at which an object changes its position from one place to another. Average velocity is also a Vector quantity. Meters per second is the SI unit. Although, any distance unit per any time unit can be used when necessary, such as miles per hour (mph) or kilometer per hour (kmph)
