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.
