Answer:

0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of gravity is working in the opposite direction of the projectile; therefore the projectile will be slowing down at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2. The projectile keeps going up until momentum runs out. The projectile reaches its highest point when its velocity is 0 m/s.
