It is the average velocity between two points on the path in the limit that the time (and therefore the displacement) between the two points approaches zero.

Questions such as, “How long does a foot race take?” and “What was the runner’s speed?” cannot be answered without an understanding of other concepts. In this section we add definitions of time, velocity, and speed to expand our description of motion.
