SEED QUESTION 5.0(1_05.1)

The problem:

A ball accelerates at 8 cm/s^2 for 3 seconds, starting with velocity 12 cm/s.

• What will be its velocity after the 3 seconds has elapsed?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

vf = v0 + a * dt

vf = 12 cm/s + (8 cm/s^2 * 3s)

vf = 12 cm/s + 24 cm/s

vf = 36 cm/s

#$&*

• Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be its average velocity during this interval?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

vAve = (vf + v0) / 2

vAve = (36 cm/s + 12 cm/s) / 2

vAve = 48 cm/s / 2

vAve = 24 cm/s

#$&*

• How far will it travel during this interval?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

ds = (v0 + vf) / 2 * dt

ds = (12 cm/s + 36 cm/s) / 2 * 3 s

ds = 48 cm/s / 6 s

ds = 8 cm

@& A ball that moves 24 cm every second will move more than 8 cm in 3 seconds.*@

@& Very good, though you did miss the last question.

See my note and see if you can correct that one.
