reading (quick quiz idea): highway patrol officers are typically more interested in your...

• average velocity for the whole trip
• instantaneous speed at a moment
• average speed for the whole trip
• instantaneous acceleration

Explanation:

Highway patrol officers enforce speed limits, which apply to how fast a vehicle is moving at any given moment. Average velocity/speed for a whole trip reflects overall travel over distance/time, not the current speed that violates limits. Instantaneous acceleration is about rate of speed change, not the speed itself that patrol monitors.

Answer:

instantaneous speed at a moment
