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):

1 cm/sec

@& This isn't correct. You haven't explained your reasoning, so I can't tell where your thinking might have gone off track.*@

#$&*

Without further information, why is this just a guess?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

There is no time involved

#$&*

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):

10-4=6*3=18cm

@& Part of your thinking is correct, and part is not.

Can you explain how your result is connected to the definition of average rate?*@

#$&*

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