Answer:

3
(m)/(s) ^(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the formula for average acceleration which is a =
(v)/(t). The v in this case is change in velocity. To find change in velocity you get final velocity subtract by the initial velocity. In this case this gets you 17 - 2 which gets you 15 m/s. You can then plug these into the equation to get 15/5 which is 3.
