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/s + 4cm/s)/2 = 7cm/s

#$&*

• Without further information, why is this just a guess?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

It’s the average of the starting and ending velocity.

#$&*

• 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/s * 3s = 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/s – 4cm/s) = (6cm/s)/3s = 2cm/s^2
