A 58 g superball traveling at 20 m/s collides with a wall and rebounded at 19 m/s. A high-speed camera captures the action, revealing that the ball barely makes contact with the wall for 3.8 milliseconds. Determine the amount of the ball's average acceleration throughout the time it is in contact with the wall.
