Instantaneous Speed

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to find the exact moment your toast pops up from the toaster, so you can catch it perfectly. Just like waiting for that precise instant when the toast is done, instantaneous speed is about capturing an object's speed at a specific moment in time. In this analogy, the toaster's timer represents an object's journey, and catching the toast at the right moment is like measuring the object’s speed at an exact point, without considering what happened before or after.
