Instantaneous Speed:
Speed defines how fast an object moves from one point to another. To determine the speed a system has you can calculate the average speed or the instantaneous speed.
The difference between the two is that, Instantaneous speed is the speed at a specific point of time while the average speed defines how long the system requires to the endpoint and the distance traveled.
