Editing Talk:Speed (section)

== confusing ==

This article seems confusing on some accounts, and out right wrong on others. First of all, it defines speed as distance over time, but this is incorrect. Speed is the magnitude of instantaneous velocity. Secondly, it then goes on to discuss instantaneous speed in the portion of the article label "average speed".  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/128.230.85.11|128.230.85.11]] ([[User talk:128.230.85.11|talk]]) 13:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:I've made some changes to the article that hopefully make it less confusing (and not at all wrong!)  I've commented out the discussion of average speed, harmonic means and so on - not really a reflection on whether it was right or wrong, just that it seemed far too much detail for something that feels more like an introductory article.  If it's felt to be important, I would suggest putting it in a separate article with a link from this one.  [[User:Djr32|Djr32]] ([[User talk:Djr32|talk]]) 18:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
