The problem:

A ball accelerates at 8 cm/s^2 for 3 seconds, starting with velocity 12 cm/s.

• What will be its velocity after the 3 seconds has elapsed? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

 8cm/s*3s=24cm/s+12cm/s=36cm/s

#$&*

• Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be its average velocity during this interval? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

 12cm/s+36cm/s=48cm/s/2=24cm/s

@&

 12cm/s+36cm/s=48cm/s

 12cm/s+36cm/s = 48cm/s/2 is a false statement.

48cm/s/2=24cm/s, and this is the average of the initial and final velocities. Since acceleration is constant this is also the average velocity.

• How far will it travel during this interval?

 24cm/s*3s=72
