In the air, it had an average speed of 16. In the water, it had an average speed of 3 before hitting the seabed. The total distance from the top of the cliff to the seabed is 127 meters, and the stone's entire fall took 12 seconds.

    5 seconds.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Make an equation.

    Time in air = x

    Time in water = 12 - x

    16x + 36 - 3x = 127

    13x = 91

    x = 7

    12 - 7 = 5
