Phsyics velocity time graph??!?
question: where must the average velocity for an interval be plotted on a velocity-time graph to represent an instantaneous velocity?
answer: the average velocity can be plotted anywhere on the graph because instantaneous means "at any time" therefore, the point can be put anywhere on the graph if it is instantaneous.....
is this right??!?!?!??! pleassee helllppppp :)

average velocity is when two points are added together and divided by time. Thus it could be plotted anywhere as long as you take the slope of those two points that represent the "average velocity". The slope of a tangent line on a velocity graph represents instantaneous velocity. Find the limit of 2 points on that graph and it will give you instantaneous velocity as well. Thus you could plots the average velocity anywhere
