Answer:

35.56 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula


a = (v)/(t) \\

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question we have


a = (160)/(4.5) = 35.55555...

We have the final answer as

35.56 m/s²

Hope this helps you
