The speed you compute by dividing your car's mileage by the time of travel is the speed of the car, whereas the speed your speedometer reads is the car's .

average and instant

Explanation:

The average speed is the ratio of the total path traveled and the time it took to travel that path, that is why the first space must be average speed, this because it takes into account the total amount of distance, and the total amount of time.

Instant speed, is the speed an objet (in this case a car) has in a particular moment in time, for this speed it doesn't matter the distance or the time that the car has traveled, it only matters the speed in that moment, that is what the speedometer measures, thus the second blank space must be instant speed.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
