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: 7cm/sec
• Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion: Because there are only 2 numbers, the starting and ending points, and this does not yield a very good average.
• 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: Using the guess average, that would be 21 cm
• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion:
(10-4)/3=6/3=2
Right, but be sure to include units in your calculations.
