Answer

$$v=8.0 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s} $$

Work Step by Step

the velocity is the integral of $F / m,$ so we find the "area" in the graph $(15$ units) and divide by the mass $(3)$ to obtain $$v-v_{0}=15 / 3=5 $$ since $$v_{0}=3.0 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s},$$ then $$v=8.0 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s} $$
