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?
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).
To find the acceleration of the Amazon delivery box, we can use the formula:
acceleration (a) = change in velocity (Δv) / time (t)
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s
Time (t) = 1.3 seconds
Using the formula, we can calculate the change in velocity:
Δv = v - u
Δv = 20 m/s - 6 m/s
Δv = 14 m/s
Now we can substitute the values into the acceleration formula:
a = Δv / t
a = 14 m/s / 1.3 s
Calculating this:
a = 10.77 m/s² (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the acceleration of the Amazon delivery box is approximately 10.77 m/s².
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 taken is 1.3 seconds. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
acceleration = (20 m/s - 6 m/s) / 1.3 s
acceleration = 14 m/s / 1.3 s
acceleration = 10.77 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the box is approximately 10.77 m/s².
