Speed is a momentary measurement. Average speed is the distance travelled in a particular journey divided by the time taken to make that journey.
If a vehicle travels forty kilometres in one hour, its average speed is 40 km h-1 (kph). That doesn't necessarily mean that the vehicle was doing exactly 40 kph for the whole hour, its speed may have varied between 0 kph and 100 kph.
Example: If a man walks 1.5 km in 15 minutes, his average speed is 6 kph. (1.5 / 0.25 = 6) If a man travels 15 km in 2 hours, his average speed is 15 / 2 = 7.5 kph. (Of course, he may have jogged at 10 kph for one and a half hours and stopped for a thirty minute picnic in the middle)

What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?
Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
What is the difference between constant speed and average speed?
Average speed is a representation of all your speeds between two points, constant speed is just unchanging speed.
What is the difference between insantaneous speend and average speed?
The instantaneous speed is the speed of a moving body at an instant. Average speed is the overall speed through a period of time. These are two important aspects of differentiation in calculus.
How do you do you average speed on a graph?
Assuming it's a graph of speed vs time, then between 2 times, the average is the distance (= area under the graph between those times) divided by the time difference.
What is the difference between actual speed and average speed?
Actual speed is the speed you are traveling at any given moment at any given point. Average speed is figured by dividing the distance you traveled by the time it took you to drive that distance.
What is the difference between average speed and top speed?
Average speed is a value of all the speeds you have travelled at over a certain length of time. Top speed is the absolute highest or fastest speed that you have ever reached. (A one time speed value).
How do you find average speed on a graph?
Assuming it's a graph of speed vs time, then between 2 times, the average is the distance (= area under the graph between those times) divided by the time difference.
What is the difference between Average Speed and Instantaneous Speed?
Suppose you accelerate in your car from stopped to 50 km.hr-1. When you were stopped your instantaneous speed was zero. At the end of the period of acceleration your instantaneous speed was 50 km.hr-1. If your rate of acceleration was constant then your average speed was 25 km.hr-1.
The difference between average speed and constant speed?
Average speed allows you to change the instantaneous speed throughout the travel time, while during constant speed, one keeps there instantaneous speed at the same numberAverage speed is when a car is moving with a speed of 25 miles per hour. Constant speed is speed maintained consistency over time.
What is the difference between downstream speed and download speed?
Nothing...
What is the difference between a 3 speed and a 4 speed automatic car?
difference between 3 and four speed is, a 3 speed has 3 forward gears. a 4 speed has 4 forward gears
What is an average car's speed?
average speed between 70-80 km/sec
