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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
(10cm/sec + 4cm/sec) / 2 = 14cm/sec / 2 = 7cm/sec
#$&*
• Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
One cannot determine if the ball stays closer to one velocity or the other over the given time interval.
#$&*
• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
7cm/sec * 3sec = 21cm
#$&*
• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
(10cm/sec - 4cm/sec) / (3sec) = 6cm/sec / 3sec = 2cm/sec^2
