Using the velocity formula, it is found that the acceleration is of a = 9.8 m/s².

<h3>What is the velocity formula?</h3>

It is given by the initial velocity plus acceleration multiplied by time, that is:

v(t) = v0 + at.

In this problem, we have that v(0) = 0, t = 2, v(2) = 19.6, hence:

v(t) = v0 + at.

19.6 = 0 + 2a.

2a = 19.6.

a = 19.6/2.

a = 9.8 m/s².

The acceleration is of a = 9.8 m/s².
