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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

 aAve = 'dv / 'dt = (vF - v0) / 'dt

vF = aAve * 'dt + v0 = 8 cm/s^2(3 s) + 12 cm/s = 24 cm/s + 12 cm/s = 36 cm/s

After 3 seconds, the final velocity is 36 cm/s.

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

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

vAve = (v0 +vf) / 2 = (12 cm/s + 36 cm/s) / 2 = 24 cm/s

#$&*

• How far will it travel during this interval?

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

vAve = 'ds / 'dt

'ds = 'dt * vAve = 3 s * 24 cm/s = 72 cm
