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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
It is between 4cm/sec and 10cm/sec
#$&*
• Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
You need to know how long it traveled for to reach 10cm/sec to get an average.
#$&*
• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
Well it had to travel at least 12 cm.
@& If it never slows then it has to go at least 12 cm.
Assuming uniform acceleration the displacement would be 21 cm.*@
#$&*
• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
2cm/sec
@& The units of (cm/s) / s are cm/s^2, not cm/s.*@
