Seed Questions 1_06.1
Copy the problem below into a text editor or word processor.
• This form accepts only text so a text editor such as Notepad is fine.
• You might prefer for your own reasons to use a word processor (for example the formatting features might help you organize your answer and explanations), but note that formatting will be lost when you submit your work through the form.
• If you use a word processor avoid using special characters or symbols, which would require more of your time to create and will not be represented correctly by the form.
• As you will see within the first few assignments, there is an easily-learned keyboard-based shorthand that doesn't look quite as pretty as word-processor symbols, but which gets the job done much more efficiently.
You should enter your answers using the text editor or word processor. You will then copy-and-paste it into the box below, and submit.

For each situation state which of the five quantities v0, vf, `ds, `dt and a are given, and give the value of each.
• A ball accelerates uniformly from 10 cm/s to 20 cm/s while traveling 45 cm.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
#$&*
• A ball accelerates uniformly at 10 cm/s^2 for 3 seconds, and at the end of this interval is moving at 50 cm/s.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
vf = v0 + a * dt
v0 = vf – (a*dt)
v0 = 50 cm/s – (10 cm/s^2 * 3 s)
v0 = 50 cm/s – (30 cm/s)
v0 = 20 cm/s
#$&*
• A ball travels 30 cm along an incline, starting from rest, while accelerating at 20 cm/s^2.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Given vf = 30 cm/s, v0 = 0cm/s and a= 20 cm/s^2
vf = v0 + a * dt
(vf –v0) = a * dt
dt = (vf – v0) / a
dt = (30 cm/s – 0 cm/s) / 20 cm/s^2
dt = 30 cm/s / 20 cm/s^2
dt = 1.5 sec
#$&*
Then for each situation answer the following:
• Is it possible from this information to directly determine vAve?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Yes by using the formula vAve = (vf + v0) / 2
#$&*
• Is it possible to directly determine `dv?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Yes since we know the aAve and dt, then you will be able to find dv by using the formula aAve = dv / dt.
