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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
Each second, velocity increases by 8 cm/s. So I need to multpily 8cm/s by 3 seconds, for a change in velocity of 24cm/s. Add this to the initical velocity of 8cm/s, for a final velocity of 36cm/s.

Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be its average velocity during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
Average velocity is (initial velocity + final velocity)/2. Here, that's (12cm/s+36cm/s)/2, or 24cm/s.

How far will it travel during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
`Ds=(vAve)(`dt)
=(24cm/s)(3s)
=72cm
The ball will travel 72cm during the 3-sec interval.
