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).
• Sketch a straight line segment between these points.
• What are the rise, run and slope of this segment?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line): The rise=change in velocity= 40 cm/s-10 cm/s= 30 cm/s
The run= change in clock time= 9 sec-4 sec= 5 sec
Slope= rise/run
Slope= 30 cm/s / 5 sec
=6 cm/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= 1/2 altitude * width
altitude= (10 cm/s +40 cm/s)
1/2 Altitude= 25 cm/s
width= 9 sec- 4 sec= 5 sec
25cm/s* 5 sec= 125 cm
