Problem

A skateboarder passes a reference point with a speed of 8.0 m ⁣/ ⁣s8.0\,\text{m}\!/\!\text{s}. Three seconds later, he is 21 m21\,\text{m} beyond the reference point. Assuming his acceleration is constant over the interval, calculate his average acceleration. State the value with appropriate units and sign.
