An Amazon delivery box slides across the floor of the delivery truck and accelerates from 6 m/s to 20 m/s in 1.3 seconds. What is the acceleration of the box?

Answer 1

To find the acceleration of the box, we can use the formula:

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

In this case, the final velocity of the box is 20 m/s, the initial velocity is 6 m/s, and the time is 1.3 seconds.

So, the acceleration of the box is calculated as:

acceleration = (20 m/s - 6 m/s) / 1.3 s = 14 m/s / 1.3 s

Using a calculator, we find that the acceleration of the box is approximately 10.769 m/s².
