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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
vf = 25m/s + 10m/s^2 * 1 sec = 35m/s
#$&*
@& The ball is moving upward but accelerating downward, so the ball is slowing.
The signs of the initial velocity and acceleration for this interval would be opposite.*@
What will be its velocity at the end of two seconds?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
vf = 25m/s + 10m/s^2 * 2 s = 45m/s
#$&*
During the first two seconds, what therefore is its average velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
vAve = (45m/s + 25m/s)/2 = 35m/s
#$&*
How far does it therefore rise in the first two seconds?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
ds = (45m/s + 25m/s)/2 * 2 s = 70m
#$&*
What will be its velocity at the end of a additional second, and at the end of one more additional second?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
vf = 25m/s + 10m/s^2 * 3s = 55m/s
#$&*
At what instant does the ball reach its maximum height, and how high has it risen by that instant?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
ds= (35m/s = 25m/s)/2 * 1s = 30m
#$&*
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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
ds = (65m/s + 25m/s) /2 * 4s = 180m
#$&*
How high will it be at the end of the sixth second?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
ds = (85m/s + 25m/s)/2 * 6s = 330m

@& Your reasoning is good throughout, but a rising ball slows. Check my note to reconcile this with the equations.
