Speed of ball after 2 seconds is 8.62 m/s downward.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let upper direction be positive

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 11 m/s

Final velocity, v = ?

Time, t = 2 s

Acceleration,a = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting

v = u + at

v = 11 + -9.81 x 2

v = -8.62 m/s

Speed of ball after 2 seconds is 8.62 m/s downward.
