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:7 cm./ sec.

• Without further information, why is this just a guess?

answer/question/discussion:because you do not know for how long it was at what speed

• 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:21 cm

• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?

answer/question/discussion:6 cm./ sec

What is the definition of the average rate of change of velocity with respect to clock time, and how does that definition applied to the current situation?

Your first three answers are correct. The last is not; you didn't include your reasoning with the steps of your solution, so I can't tell for sure what you did wrong.
