    Formula relating time, velocity and acceleration:

    Vf = Vi + at (Vf = Final velocity, Vi = initial velocity)

    What you're given:

    Initial speed, Vi = 5.5 m/s

    Acceleration, a = - 2.1 m/s^2

    Time, t = 0.3 s

    Required:

    Vf = ?

    Plugging in the given information:

    Vf = (5.5) + (-2.1) (0.3)

    Vf = 4.87 m/s

    The bicyclist's speed is 4.87 m/s after 0.3 s.
