B.) Sketch rough graphs of your velocity and position as a function of time from the instant the fan was reversed.
Important note: sketching graphs.

For sketched graphs, you needn't put numbers on the axes, even though we did that for the position graph here. It is important, however, that you make your time axes consistent. In this case, at the second division of the time axis, the velocity goes to zero. Thus, on the position graph we expect to see the position's slope at zero (which it is). Graders will always check for this kind of consistency. |
C.) Given that the boat was halfway to Station One before you reversed it, that it started from rest at Base Camp, and that the fan was accelerating the boat forward until the instant you reversed it, where will the boat be when it (instantaneously) comes to rest after you have reversed the fan?
