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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
the ball is increasing in velocity 8cm/s every seconds. It it does this for 3 seconds it will have increased its velocity 24 cm/s. 8cm/s/s * 3 seconds = 24 cm/s. Since the starting velocity is 12cm/s, the velocity after 3 seconds will be 12cm/s + 24 cm/s which is 36cm/s

Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be its average velocity during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
The avereage velocity is (v0+ vf)/2 = (12cm/s + 36cm/s) /2 = (48 cm/s )/ 2 = 24 cm/s

How far will it travel during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
If we multiply the average velocity by the time interval we will get the displacement.
`ds = vAve * `dt = 24 cm/s * 3 s = 72 cm
The ball travels 72 cm in during this interval.
