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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

10cm/s + 4cm/s = 14cm/s / 2 = 7cm/s =vAve

#$&*

• Without further information, why is this just a guess?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

We can’t calculate the exact average because we don’t have the time that elapsed while the velocity was changing.

• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

7cm/s *3s = 21cm

#$&*

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

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

10cm/s - 4cm/s = 6cm/s / 3s = 2cm/s/s
