For each situation state which of the five quantities v0, vf, `ds, `dt and a are given, and give the value of each.

A ball accelerates uniformly from 10 cm/s to 20 cm/s while traveling 45 cm.

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

vf,v0, and 'ds are given

vf=20cm/s v0=10cm/s 'ds=45cm

(20cm/s + 10cm/s)/2= 15cm/s=vAve

45cm=15cm/s*'dt 'dt=3s

15cm/s /3s=5cm/s^2 is the a

#$&*

A ball accelerates uniformly at 10 cm/s^2 for 3 seconds, and at the end of this interval is moving at 50 cm/s.

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

a=10cm/s^2 'dt=3sec vf=50cm/s

10cm/s^2*3sec=30cm/s='dv

v0+'dv=vf v0+30cm/s=50cm/s v0=20cm/s

(50cm/s +20cm/s)/2= 35cm/s =vAve

vAve*'dt='ds 35cm/s*3s=105cm ='ds

#$&*

A ball travels 30 cm along an incline, starting from rest, while accelerating at 20 cm/s^2.

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

30cm='ds v0=0cm/s a=20cm/s^2

I'm really having a hard time to figure out the rest of them with these numbers.

You have to use the appropriate equations of motion to solve this case.

#$&*

Then for each situation answer the following:

Is it possible from this information to directly determine vAve?

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

Only the first problem directly

#$&*

Is it possible to directly determine `dv?

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

ONce again with the first one you can figure it out
