Answer:

10ms⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply we can consider a motion equation

V = U + a*t

  • v - final velocity
  • u - initial velocity
  • a-acceleration
  • t - time

since in upward motion velocity decreases ,

amount of velocity decreased = u-v

V=U -gt ( g =10ms⁻² downwards)

u-v =10*1 ms⁻¹

decreased amount of velocity in a second = 10ms⁻¹
