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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

#$&*

25m/s - 10m/s/s after 1 sec = 15m/second

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

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

25m/s - 10m/s/s - 10m/s/s = 5m/second

#$&*

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

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

25m/s + 5m/s / 2 = 15m/second

#$&*

• How far does it therefore rise in the first two seconds?

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

= 20m/s / 2sec = 10m

average velocity (25m/s + 5m/s) / 2 = 15m/sec

displacement 15m/s / 2s =7.5m/sec

@&

If I move at 60 mph for 4 hours, do I go 15 miles (corresponding to 60 mph / (4 hr)) or 240 miles?

If you're moving at an average 15 m/s then you go an average of 15 meters every second. If you do this for 2 seconds, how far do you go?

What will be its velocity at the end of a additional second, and at the end of one more additional second?

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

3 seconds= -5m/s

4 seconds = -15m/s

• At what instant does the ball reach its maximum height, and how high has it risen by that instant?

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

the ball reaches its maximum height at v = 0.

v^2 - vo^2 / 2a

= (25m/s)^2 / 2(-10m/s) = 31.25m

#$&*

• 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+-5) / 2 =10m/s

The change in clock time is 4 seconds

= 10m/s / 4s = 2.5m/sec (displacement)

This also needs to be revised.

Good, but you need to think carefully about what your results mean. Two of your results are incorrect and need to be revised.
