Answer

$(1.3i+2.3j)\space m/s$

Work Step by Step

Please see the image first. Let's apply equation $V=u+at$ to the object to find its velocity to $y$ direction after 4.4 seconds. $\uparrow V=u+at$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $V=0+0.52\space m/s^{2}\times 4.4\space s$ $V=2.3\space m/s$ We know, the acceleration occurred in the $y$ direction. Hence $x$ direction velocity component remains the same after 4.4 s. We know the velocity vector can be expressed as, $$\vec{V} =V_{x}i+V_{y}j$$ $$\vec{V}=(1.3i+2.3j)\space m/s$$
