Would the units for part (a) be meters / day then? Now, for part (b) would I divide the acceleration from part (a) by 9.8 m/s^2?

so I would set: Δv = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s t = 3.0 days a = ? and putting that into the previously mentioned equation would equal: 10^8 m/s I feel like I did something wrong?

a = Δv / t-0

An interstellar ship has a mass of 1.20 x 10^6 kg and is initially at rest relative to a star system. (a) What constant acceleration is needed to bring the ship up to a speed of 0.10c (where c is the speed of light, 3.0 x 10^8 m/s) relative to the star system in 3.0 days? (b) What is that...
