1.2s
Explanation:
Let the velocity of projection of the object be u with angle of projection
The vertical component of the velocity of projection is
Now if the time of flight be T then the object will return to the ground after T sec and during this T sec its total vertical dosplacement h will be zero. So applying the equation of motion under gravity we canh write
In our problem
Hence
