In physics class, Carrie learns that a force, F, is equal to the mass of an object, m, times its acceleration, a. She writes the equation as F = ma, then realizes that each of her homework problems asks her to solve for acceleration. She rewrites the formula as = a.

Using this formula, what is the acceleration of an object with F = 7.92 newtons and m = 3.6 kilograms? Express your answer to the nearest tenth.
