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):

the average velocity is found by averaging the initial and final velocities so (10cm + 4cm) / 2 sec = 7 cm / sec

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

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

we need to have the change in position and the change in time to accurately detail the average velocity. The average of the initial and final velocities is a more rough estimate.

• 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):

`ds = vAve (7cm / sec) * `dt (3 sec) = 21 cm

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

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

the average rate at which the velocity changed or the acceleration is aAve= `dv (10cm / sec - 4cm / sec = 6cm/sec) / `dt ( 3 sec) = 2cm/sec^2
