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:

a=(vF-v0)/'dt

8cm/s/s = (vF - 12cm/s)/3

24 = vF-12

vF = 36 cm/s

Assuming that acceleration is constant, what will be

its average velocity during this interval?

answer/question/discussion:

vAve = (vF + v0)/2

vAve = (36 + 12)/2

vAve = 24 cm/s

How far will it travel during this interval?

answer/question/discussion:

'ds = vAve * 'dt

'ds = 24cm/s * 3 seconds

'ds = 72 cm
