Ok, now, i am going to go out on a limb here and say that this is a little confusing to explain in words, but i will try.

ok, so the ball traveles 3 meters in 1 second. the average velocity 3m/s

the final velocity is 6 m/s

the acceleration is 6 m/s/s or 6m/s squared.

as you know, the distance traveled here is 3 meters.

So now i must find out the distance traveled on the next stop. The ball is rolling down the ramp, most people would assume that the next distance traveled would be six meters (distance recorded for every second from the start point) BUT the acceleration changes that. Am i right in stating that to find the distance i would have to do this?

1/2 acceleration x time squared.
