Chapter 1.3, Problem 2aT

Choose two successive points. In the space at right, sketch the velocity vectors corresponding to those points. Draw the vectors side-by-side and label them $\stackrel{\to }{{\upsilon }_i}$ and $\stackrel{\to }{{\upsilon }_t}$ a, respectively.

Determine the vector that must be added to the velocity at the earlier time to equal the velocity at the later time. Is the name change in velocity appropriate for this vector?

How does the direction of the change in velocity vector compare to the direction of the velocity vectors in this case?

Would your answer change if you were to select two different points during the time that the ball was speeding up? Explain.
