Answer:

14.7 m/sec.

Explanation:

We will go about using the mathematical formula,

Vf - Vo = gT.

To break it down,

Vf = Velocity of the apple just before hitting the ground.  

Vo = Initial velocity of apple = 0  

T = Time for apple to hit the ground = 1.5 sec  

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2

We then need to substitute appropriate values,

Vf - 0 = 9.8(1.5)  

Vf = 14.7 m/sec.
