Answer:

The answer is 2.33 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 speed

t is the time taken

From the question we have


a = (7)/(3) \\ = 2.33333333...

We have the final answer as

2.33 m/s²

Hope this helps you
