Answer:

vf = 6.724 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity: This an be defined as the rate of change of displacement. Velocity is a vector quantity, because it can be represented both in magnitude and direction. The S.I unit of velocity is m/s.

From newton's equation of motion,

vf = vi + at ......................................... Equation 1

Where vf = final velocity, vi = initial velocity, a = acceleration, t = time.

Given: vi = 3.6 m/s, a = 0.71 m/s², t = 4.4 s.

Substitute into equation 1

vf = 3.6+0.71(4.4)

vf = 3.6+3.124

vf = 6.724 m/s

Hence, vf = 6.724 m/s
