(a) What are the ball's average speed and average velocity during the first 3.0 s?
(b) Suppose that the ball moved in such a way that the graph segment after 2.0 s
was -3.0 m/s instead of +3.0 m/s. Find the ball's average speed and average velocity in
this case.
2. An antelope moving with constant acceleration covers the distance between two
points 70.0 m apart in 6.00 s. Its speed as it passes the second point is 15.0 m/s. (a)
What is its speed at the first point? (b) What is its acceleration?
3. A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 8.20 m/s.How
