Velocity
The velocity of an object is the rate at which it moves.
A particle is an entity considered as a point.
Specification
There is no such thing as the velocity of a particle at "an instant in time." But I want to specify a certain real measurement, which could actually be done, and which is the reality-based analogue of that notion.
If one measures a particle and it is not moving (relative to me), then he can measure it at a certain position , at a certain time . Like all measurements, these come with uncertainties, and , based on the nature of one's measurement apparatuses. If a particle is moving, then its measurement becomes more uncertain; one has less of an idea of what its position is at a given time. Denote the uncertainty of the moving particle by . Then
Specification. The velocity of the particle at time is
