The problem:
A graph is constructed representing velocity vs. clock time for the interval between clock times t = 5 seconds and t = 13 seconds. The graph consists of
a straight line from the point (5 sec, 16 cm/s) to the point (13 sec, 40 cm/s).
*
What is the clock time at the midpoint of this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
9 seconds
#$&*
*
What is the velocity at the midpoint of this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
28 cm/s
#$&*
*
How far do you think the object travels during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
384 cm
#$&*
*
By how much does the clock time change during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
8 seconds
#$&*
*
By how much does velocity change during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
24 cm/s
#$&*
*
What is the average rate of change of velocity with respect to clock time on this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
3 cm/s/s
#$&*
*
What is the rise of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
y = 24 units
#$&*
*
What is the run of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
x = 8 units
#$&*
*
What is the slope of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
m = 3 units
#$&*
*
What does the slope of the graph tell you about the motion of the object during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
It is increasing in speed.

*
What is the average rate of change of the object's velocity with respect to clock time during this interval?

3 cm/s/s

Very good, but be sure to also include a brief explanation of your reasoning.
