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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The velocity will be 36 cm/s because every sec the velocity increases by 8 cm/sec. in 3 sec the velocity will have increased by 24 cm/sec + 12 cm/sec = 36cm/sec

• Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be its average velocity during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If we take the initial velocity at 12cm/s and add the final velocity at 36cm/s and divide by two we obtain the average velocity of 24 cm/ sec.

• How far will it travel during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
`ds= vAve (24cm/sec) * `dt (3 sec) = 72 cm
