Answer:

The answer is 3.38 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) \\

where

a is the acceleration

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question

v = 27 m/s

t = 8 s

We have


a = (27)/(8) \\ = 3.375

We have the final answer as

3.38 m/s²

Hope this helps you
