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:
To adequately get the average velocity I need the displacement and the time elapsed. If I was to guess from the info provided I would say 7 cm/sec
• Without further information, why is this just a guess?
answer/question/discussion:
To adequately get the average velocity I need the displacement and the time elapsed
• 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:
With the right average velocity and time I can only guess the displacement and not distance travelled. But I’d go ahead and guess 7*3= 21cm
• At what average rate did its velocity change with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion:
10-4/3= 2cm/s

Excellent answers. I look forward to seeing more of your work for this course.
