A ball starts with velocity 4 cm/sec and ends with a velocity of 10 cm/sec.
What is your best guess about the ball's average velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
Best guess would be done by averaging the two velocities, 4 + 10 = 14, 14 / 2 = 7, so 7 cm/s.

Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
You would need to know more information to work the problem out, without the information it is impossible.
#$&*
If it takes 3 seconds to get from the first velocity to the second, then what is your best guess about how far it traveled during that time?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
Given the avg. rate of 7cm/s over a 3 second interval, you would have 21 cm.
#$&*
At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
Take the 10 cm/s minus the 4 cm/s to get a change of 6 cm/s, then divide by the 3 second time interval, you get 2 cm/s/s of change.
