Projectile Motion: A 5.0-kg stone is thrown upward at 7.5 m/s at an angle of 51° above the horizontal from the upper edge of a cliff, and it hits the ground 1.5 s later with no air resistance. Find the magnitude of its velocity vector just as it reaches the ground.

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
