A ball starts with velocity 0 and accelerates uniformly down a ramp of length 30 cm, covering the distance in 5 seconds.
What is its average velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
6 cm/s
#$&*
If the acceleration of the ball is uniform then its average velocity is equal to the average of its initial and final velocities.
You know its average velocity, and you know the initial velocity is zero.
What therefore must be the final velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
30 cm/s
#$&*
@&
This result would not fulfill the condition that the average velocity is the average of initial and final velocities.
*@
By how much did its velocity therefore change?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
By 30
#$&*
@&
I don't believe this is right. Your answer also lacks units.
*@
At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
By 6 cm per second
#$&*
@&
I do not believe either the number or the units of this result are correct.
*@
What would a graph of its velocity vs. clock time look like? Give the best description you can.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
it would start small and then slowly rise
