ApproachApplication: Once the fan has been reversed, the acceleration is in the opposite direction from the velocity. Thus, the boat will immediately begin to slow down. As it slows, it will continue to move east, however. In the language of our one-dimensional system, the velocity immediately begins to decrease with time, but the position continues to increase until the instant that the velocity has decreased to zero.
