A ball is tossed upward with an initial velocity of 25 meters / second. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s^2 downward.
• What will be the velocity of the ball after one second?

Good.
It's good to know how to use the equations, and to use the correctly, but you can also get these results from the meanings of the quantities, without using equations.
10 m/s^2 means a change of 10 m/s, every second, in the downward direction.
So starting with 25 m/s upward, after one second a change of 10 m/s downward leaves us with 15 m/s, and after another second the same change will leave us 5 m/s, still upward. After still another second the same change will bring us to 5 m/s downward, etc., etc..
