The velocity as a function of time for an asteroid in the asteroid belt is given by
v(t)=v0e−t/t0i^+v0t/2t0j^,
where v0 and t0 are constants.

Use ti=0 as the initial time, and tf=(1.9t0) as the final time. 

The values for the constants that you will use are:

v0 = 37 m/s
t0 = 252 s

I need to solve for the Magnitude of Average Acceleration for the asteroid. I have tried using the formula's that we were given in our notes to solve this question and every answer that I have gotten has been wrong. So far I have gotten 

0.0077m/s2

0.139m/s2

0.003028m/s2

and all of these are wrong, and yet every time I work through the problem I keep getting one of these answers.
