Instantaneous Velocity
Instantaneous velocity, abbreviated as \(v_i\), as the change in time approaches 0, is the velocity at a particular moment in time along its path.

Symbol | English | Metric |
\( v_i \) = instantaneous velocity | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
\( d l \) = length or distance (derivative) | \(ft\) | \(m\) |
\( d t \) = time differential (derivative) | \(sec\) | \(s\) |
