The problem:
A graph is constructed representing velocity vs. clock time for the interval between clock times t = 5 seconds and t = 13 seconds. The graph consists of a straight line from the point (5 sec, 16 cm/s) to the point (13 sec, 40 cm/s).
• What is the clock time at the midpoint of this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : 13+5/2=9sec
• What is the velocity at the midpoint of this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :56/2=28m/sec
• How far do you think the object travels during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
• By how much does the clock time change during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :8sec
• By how much does velocity change during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :24m/sec
• What is the average rate of change of velocity with respect to clock time on this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :24/8=3m/sec2
• What is the rise of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :24
• What is the run of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : 8
• What is the slope of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :3
• What does the slope of the graph tell you about the motion of the object during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : no idea..please comment
• What is the average rate of change of the object's velocity with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : 3m/sec square

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