How is average velocity different from instantaneous velocity ?

1.	How is average velocity different from instantaneous velocity ?
Answer» Solution : Average velocity:It is defined as RATIO `Deltax` displacement to the time interval `Deltat vecv_(x)=(Deltax)/(Deltat)-(x_(2)-x_(1))/(t_(2)-t_(1))` Average velocity is independent of the path followed by the particle between initial and final positions INSTANTANEOUS velocity: The velocity of a particle at a particular instant of time is KNOWN as instantaneous velocity i.e., `v_(x)=L_(Deltatrarr0)(Deltax)/(Deltat)=(dx)/(dt)` Instantaneous velocity is the RATE of CHANGE of position with time.
