Correct option-1

Concept:-

INSTANTANEOUS SPEED

  • The speed of a moving object at a particular instant of time is called instantaneous speed.
  • We can define velocity at a particular instant as the limiting value of average velocity when time interval ∆t approaches zero.
  • Mathematically we can write the same as follows:

 \(v=\underset{\Delta t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}\) = \(\frac{dx}{dt}\)

  • When we calculate average velocity or speed, the selected time interval can be large or small. 
  • But when the time interval selected is infinitesimally small then it is known as instantaneous velocity or speed.
  • For a moving object, the instantaneous speed at any point is equal to the magnitude of instantaneous velocity but the average speed in a given time interval is always greater or equal to the magnitude of average velocity in that interval.

 

Calculation:-

Given- 

Expression for distance in an upward direction, i.e. altitude \(y=16{{t}^{2}}+4t+5\)

Instantaneous speed is given as-

 \(v=\frac{dy}{dt}\)

\(\Rightarrow\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d\left( 16{{t}^{2}}+4t+5 \right)}{dt}=32t+4\)

\(\therefore v=32t+4\)

Initial speed means speed at t = 0 sec.

So at t = 0 sec, we have

\(v=32\times 0+4=4m/s\)

\(\therefore v=4m/s\)

Hence, Option-1 is correct.

                      Instantaneous velocity

                   Instantaneous speed

  • Instantaneous velocity is the change in position taking place in an infinitesimally small time interval.
  • Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of instantaneous velocity
  • It is a vector quantity.
  • It is a scalar quantity.
  • Mathematically it can be expressed as-

            \(\vec{v}=\frac{d\vec{x}}{dt}\)

  • Mathematically it can be expressed as-

               \(v=\frac{dx}{dt}\)
