The problem:

A ball starts with velocity 4 cm/sec and ends with a velocity of 10 cm/sec.

1. What is your best guess about the ball's average velocity?

7cm/s

vAve = (v0 + vf)/2 = (4 + 10)/2 = 7cm/s

2. Without further information, why is this just a guess?

Assuming the velocity increases at a constant rate, then the average velocity should be the average of the initial & final velocities.

3. 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?

21cm

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

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

2 cm/s^2

a = `dv/`dt = (6cm/s)/(3s) = 2cm/s^2

** **

20 min.
