"0 m/s"

Explanation:

Initial vertical component of velocity is

"u"_y = 19.6\ "m/s" × sin30 = "9.8 m/s"

Use equation of motion "v = u + at" along vertical direction

"v"_y = "u"_y + "a"_y"t"

color(white)("v"_y) = "9.8 m/s + (– 9.8 m/s"^2 × "1 s)"

color(white)("v"_y) = 0\ "m/s"

It means projectile is at its highest point after 1 second.
