The problem:

A ball accelerates at 8 cm/s^2 for 3 seconds, starting with velocity 12 cm/s.

• What will be its velocity after the 3 seconds has elapsed? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

8= (vF-12)/3

24=vF-12

vF= 36cm/s

since we know acceleration, initial velocity and time interval we can solve for final velocity.

 

#$&*

• Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be its average velocity during this interval? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

(36cm/s+12cm/s)/2= 24cm/s

(vf+v0)/2

 

#$&*

• How far will it travel during this interval?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

24cm/s * 3sec= 72 cm
