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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If it is accelerating at 8 cm/s^2 for 3 seconds, you multiply 8 cm/s^2 * 3 s and get 24
cm/s for these 3 seconds. Then you have to add the 24 c/s to the initial velocity of 12
c/s for a final velocity during this time of 36 cm/s.

Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be its average velocity during this
interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
To find the average velocity, you have to average the initial and final velocities,
which would be (12 cm/s + 36 cm/s)/2 = 48 cm/s / 2 = 24 cm/s
#$&*
How far will it travel during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The average veolcity is 24 cm/s times the elapsed time of 3 seconds for a total of 72
cm.
