An autonomous delivery drone is ascending vertically at a velocity of 4.2 m/s.
The drone accelerates upwards at a rate of 1.8 m/s2 until its velocity reaches 12.3 m/s.
Calculate the time taken for this acceleration.
Use the equation:
time taken=change in velocityacceleration \text{time taken} = \frac{\text{change in velocity}}{\text{acceleration}} time taken=accelerationchange in velocity53 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Physics 2.2 Speed, velocity and acceleration.
