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:

I would give the average velocity as 7 cm/sec

Without further information, why is this just a guess?

answer/question/discussion:

The velocity could have accelerated to a velocity greater than 10 cm/sec, but then reduced velocity to 10 cm/sec at the end.

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:

21 cm

At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?

answer/question/discussion:

2 cm/sec^2 acceleration

20 minutes
