13 - Instantaneous Acceleration Explained (Average Vs. Instantaneous Acceleration)

Get more lessons like this at http://www.MathTutorDVD.com Learn how instantaneous acceleration compares with average acceleration in physics. Average acceleration is the change in velocity over a time period. To find the instantaneous acceleration, we must shrink the time period down to an infinitesimal size. To do this, we take the calculus of the change in velocity per unit time.
