The problem:

A ball starts with velocity 4 cm/sec and ends with a velocity of 10 cm/sec.

What is your best guess about the ball's average velocity?

answer/question/discussion:

10cm/s+4cm/s=14cm/s, 14cm/s/2= answer 7cm/sec

Without further information, why is this just a guess?

answer/question/discussion:

Because I just looked at the numbers and guessed. That is all the information given

If it takes 3 seconds to get from the first velocity to the second, then what is your best

guess about how far it traveled during that time?

answer/question/discussion:

vavg=7cm/s, 7cm/s*3sec= answer 21cm

At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this

interval?

answer/question/discussion:

10cm/s-4cm/s=6cm/s, 6cm/s/3sec= answer 2cm/sec

Good, but:

(6cm/s)/(3sec) needs to be grouped as indicated to clarify numerator and denominator, and the result is 2 cm/sec^2, not 2 cm/sec.
