Answer:

The answer to your question is: 13.2 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

final speed (fs) = 77 m/s

t = 6.5 s

gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s2

initial speed (is) = ?

Formula

fs = is + gt from this equation we clear "is" = fs - gt

Substitution is = 77 - (9,81)(6.5)

Process is = 77 - 63.8

is = 13.2 m/s
