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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
25 m/s
@& 25 m/s is the initial velocity, not the velocity 1 second later.*@
#$&*
• What will be its velocity at the end of two seconds?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
15 m/s
#$&*
• During the first two seconds, what therefore is its average velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
(25 m/s + 15 m/s) / 2 = 20 m/s
#$&*
• How far does it therefore rise in the first two seconds?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
20 m/s * 2 = 40 m
#$&*
• What will be its velocity at the end of a additional second, and at the end of one more additional second?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
5 m/s
-5 m/s
#$&*
• At what instant does the ball reach its maximum height, and how high has it risen by that instant?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
At 3.5 s when the ball evens out at 0 m/s
20 m/s * 3.5 = 70 m
#$&*
• What is its average velocity for the first four seconds, and how high is it at the end of the fourth second?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
(25 m + 15 m + 5 m + - 5m) / 4 = 11.25 m/s
11.25 m/s * 4 s = 45 m
#$&*
• How high will it be at the end of the sixth second?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
(25m + 15 m + 5 m + -5m + -15 m + -25m) / 6 = 0 m/s
0 m/s * 6 s = 0 m

@& Your reasoning is good throughout; but you had the initial velocity occuring 1 second after the start, which influenced your results.*@
