Dear suraj singh,

Instantaneous Velocity is the velocity at a particular moment in time . For example,the velocity of the ball at the 5th second of its free fall .

Instantaneous Velocity is given by the formula,

v(instant) = v(initial) + at

 

Hope this helped you immensely..

All the Very Best & Good Luck to you ...
