$\approx 0.2 s$ $~~0.2s$

Explanation:

Since the projectile is projected vertically then free vertical motion under gravity to be applied.
Here Initial velocity $u = 1 \frac{m}{s}$ $u = 1m/s$
If its time of flight be taken as T s, then after Ts it will return to the initial position at the ground ,making a verticalb displacement $h = 0$ $h=0$ Taking acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 m s^{- 2}$ $g =9.8ms^-2$
we can write:
$h = u \times T - \frac{1}{2} \times g \times T^{2} \Rightarrow 0 = 1 \times T - \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times T^{2}$ $h=uxxT-1/2xxgxxT^2=>0=1xxT-1/2xx9.8xxT^2$
$:. T=1/4.9s~~0.2s$
