A boat is trying to cross a river that is flowing at 2 m/s. The boat can travel at 4m/s. What is the resultant velocity of the boat?
The resultant velocity is
So, the resultant of the velocities is

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- An object travels North at #1 m/s# for #8 s# and then travels South at #6 m/s# for # 4 s#. What are the object's average speed and velocity?
- A tourist calculated that if he walks to the railroad station with a speed of 4 mph, he’ll miss the train by half an hour, but if he walks with a speed of 5 mph, he’ll reach the station 6 minutes before the departure of the train ?
- A stone is dropped from a helicopter hovering at a constant height of 490m. How long before the stone reaches the ground?
- An object is at rest at #(7 ,4 ,2 )# and constantly accelerates at a rate of #4/5 m/s# as it moves to point B. If point B is at #(3 ,6 ,9 )#, how long will it take for the object to reach point B? Assume that all coordinates are in meters.
- If an object is moving at #8 m/s# and accelerates to #32 m/s# over 6 seconds, what was the object's rate of acceleration?
