Hi!!

Acceleration shows the change in velocity in a unit time. Sine
velocity is measured in meters per second [m/s] and time is seconds
[s], then acceleration is units will be [m/s]/[s] = [m/s^2] or meters
per second squared.

The answer for this problem is:
b. 3 meters per second squared.


Hope this helps. Feel free torequest for a clarification if it is needed.
