The problem:
A ball starts with velocity 0 and accelerates uniformly down a ramp of length 30 cm, covering the distance in 5 seconds.
*
What is its average velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
The average velocity is 6cm/s.
#$&*
*
If the acceleration of the ball is uniform then its average velocity is equal to the average of its initial and final velocities.
You know its average velocity, and you know the initial velocity is zero.
What therefore must be the final velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> n/discussion (start in the next line):
12 cm/sec.
#$&*
*
By how much did its velocity therefore change?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
The velocity changed by 6 cm/s.
check the discussion on this one

*
At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
The velocity changed by 5 seconds with respect to clock time.
That's change in clock time, not a rate.
#$&*
*
What would a graph of its velocity vs. clock time look like? Give the best description you can.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion (start in the next line):
The graph would be increasing and would rise to the right as the velocity increased with the clock time.
