Acceleration is change in velocity over time. In the metric system it is measured in meters per second per second (m/s squared). To figure it out, subtract the initial speed from the final speed and divide the difference by the time. In your example, 0 m/s - 2 m/s = -2 m/s. -2 m/s divided by 3 s = -2/3 m/s squared. Because the answer is a negative number, it is a deceleration - a slowing down.
