(i) Define instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration.
(ii) Describe, with the help of the notation x(t), how the concepts of instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration are obtained from the graph of position–time.
(iii) Explain why taking the limit Δt→0 is essential in obtaining true instantaneous values rather than average values.
