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):
I would guess the vAve would be (v0 + vF) / 2 = 14 cm/sec / 2 = 7 cm/s.

• Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
This is just a guess because I do not know positions, times, or acceleration.

• 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):
In 3 seconds the velocity of the object changed 6 cm/s. Its not vAve, its 'dv. I cannot think of a formula with 'ds that involves 'dv.
@&
You estimated vAve in the first question. Using that estimate you should easily be able to answer this question.

• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
a = 'dv / dt = 6 cm/s / 3 s = 2 cm/^2

Very good, but see my note on the question you didn't answer.
I'm confident you'll understand what to do there, but if not feel free to submit a revision. Otherwise it won't be necessary for you to do so.
