Solution

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

Velocity = Distance / Time

Given in the problem, the box moved a distance of 3 meters in 0.1 minutes. So, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Velocity = 3 meters / 0.1 minutes = 30 meters per minute

So, the box's velocity was 30 meters per minute.
