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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : I am guessing that the ball’s average velocity will end up being very close to 7 cm/sec.
• Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : Because we don’t have a time interval and this is the only thing that seems logical.
• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : I am guessing that it traveled around 21 cm in that time frame.
• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : It changed at 2 cm/sec each second.

Very good work. Let me know if you have questions.
