Velocity at the end of 3.6 s is -8.64 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u 0 m/s

Final velocity, v = ?

Time, t = 3.6 s

Acceleration, a = -2.40 m/s²

Substituting

v = u + at

v = 0 + -2.40 x 3.6

v = -8.64 m/s

Velocity at the end of 3.6 s is -8.64 m/s
