In 1998, NASA launched DS-1 (Deep Space 1). This spacecraft successfully flew by the asteroid 1992 KD. The propulsion system worked by ejecting argon ions at high speed. The propulsion system could increase the velocity by 7.2284x10^0 m/s per day. What was the average acceleration in m/s2, expressed to 4 significant figures?
