Step-by-step explanation:

Instantaneous velocity is specific rate of the change of the position or the displacement with respect to the time at a particular single point (x,t)


v(t)=(d)/(dt)x(t)

Average velocity is average rate of the change of the position or the displacement with respect to the time over an particular interval.


{v}=\frac {\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{{x}_{\text{f}}-{x}_{\text{i}}}{{t}_{\text{f}}-{t}_{\text{i}}}
