You are at a rest stop 250 miles north of New York City. You then travel north at a constant velocity of 65 miles per hour for 2.0 hours. Describe your location relative to New York City.

65 miles/hour for 2 hours is the same as:
65 * 2
130 miles

Since you are already 250 miles from NYC, just add the added distance.

130 + 250 = 380

You are 380 miles north of NYC.
