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

The acceleration of the box can be calculated using the formula:

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

Given that the initial velocity (u) is 6 m/s, the final velocity (v) is 20 m/s, and the time (t) is 1.3 seconds, we can plug in the values into the formula:

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

Using a calculator, we find that the acceleration of the box is approximately 10.769 m/s² (rounded to 3 decimal places).
