The problem:
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:
7cm/sec
• Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion:
The instantaneous rate could have varied to almost any extreme.
• 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:
21cm
• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion:
10cm/sec-4cm/sec=6cm/sec/3sec=2cm/s^2
