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
