Answer:

Total time of flight is 18 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The projected stone is a projectile, so that the time required is the total time of flight (T).

T =
(2U Sin A)/(g)

where: U is the velocity of the stone (90 m/s), A is the angle of projection, and g is the gravitational acceleration (10 m/
s^(2)).

Then,

T =
(2 *90 sin 90^(o) )/(10)

=
(180)/(10)

= 18

T = 18 s

The time taken for the stone to travel up and back to the ground is 18 seconds.
