As an airplane is taking off at an airport its position isclosely monitored by radar. The following three positions aremeasured with their corresponding times:
x1 = 264.08 m at t1 = 4.90 s,
x2 = 312.33 m at t2 = 5.40 s,
x3 = 364.72 m at t3 = 5.90 s.
What is the acceleration of the airplane at t2 = 5.40 s?(Assume that the acceleration of the airplane is constant.)​

a=_______m/s^2
