Answer:

15.01 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying newtons equation of motion,

v² = u²+2gs.................. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = distance, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: u = 21 m/s, s = 11 m

Constant: g = -9.8 m/s² ( g is negative because the stone against the force of gravity).

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 21²-2(11)(9.8)

v² = 441-215.6

v² = 225.4

v = √225.4

v = 15.01 m/s
