    isn't this question a bit subjective.. instantaneous speed at a point is speed in a really small interval around that point (infinitesimal small) but it depends on why are we finding it maybe I don't need it to be that accurate and finding it on 1 sec interval might be instantaneous enough for the situation? 😅😅

    edit: ok nvm we're talking about the one thats more accurate/closer to that infinitesimal rate of change..
