Congress has often used the Commerce Clause to justify exercising legislative power over the activities of states and their citizens, leading to significant and ongoing controversy regarding the balance of power between the federal government and the states.
Instantaneous and Average Velocity. instantaneous velocity of an object at a particular time is equal to the slope of its position vs. time graph at that time. On the other hand, the average velocity between two times is equal to the slope of the line joining the two points on the position vs. time graph.
If the velocity is 10 m/s for 10 secs and 0 for another 10 secs, then the average is 5 m/s which is non-zero over the 20 second period. But the instantaneous vâ¦elocity is zero for the period from 10 to 20 seconds.
