Answer:

6.49 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

shariquekhan25ow696t did a great job of explaining but made a small mistake;

This is the same type of problem

find out the time value

3 = 1/2*a*T^2

6/10 = t^2

t = 0.77 seconds

and the distance is given 5 m

thus speed ,= distance/time

speed = 5/0.77

= 6.49 m/s
