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?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

v_0 = 25 m/s

g = 10 m/s^2

velocity of the ball after one second is 15 m/s

What will be its velocity at the end of two seconds?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

5 m/s

#$&*

During the first two seconds, what therefore is its average velocity?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

v_0 = 25 m/s

v_1 = 15 m/s

v_2 = 5 m/s

v_ave = 45 m/s / 3 = 15 m/s

Good. Note that since velocity changes linearly with time, this is the same average you would have obtained from just the initial and final velocities.
