The problem:

A ball is moving at 10 cm/s when clock time is 4 seconds, and at 40 cm/s when clock time is 9 seconds.

• Sketch a v vs. t graph and represent these two events by the points (4 sec, 10 cm/s) and (9 s, 40 cm/s).

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

I sketched this graph with time in seconds on the x-axis and velocity in cm/s on the y axis

#$&*

• Sketch a straight line segment between these points.

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

I sketched a straight line segment connecting these two points

#$&*

• What are the rise, run and slope of this segment?

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

rise =40cm/s-10cm/s=30cm/s

run=9s-4s=5s

slope=30cm/s/5s=6cm/s^2

#$&*

• What is the area of the graph beneath this segment?

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

the area of the graph beneath this segment represents change in position

Good interpretation.

You were also to calculate the area. Do so, then check the link at the end. No need to submit unless you have trouble and need my feedback; I expect you'll get it right.
