When you hear a noise, you usually know the direction from which it came even if you cannot see the source. This ability is part
ly because you have hearing in two ears. Imagine a noise from a source that is directly to your right. The sound reaches your right ear before it reaches your left ear. Your brain interprets this extra travel time (Δt) to your left ear and identifies the source as being directly to your right. In this simple model, the extra travel time is maximal for a source located directly to your right or left (Δt = Δtmax). A source directly behind or in front of you has equal travel time to each ear, so Δt = 0. Sources at other locations have intermediate extra travel times (0 ≤ Δt ≤ Δtmax). Assume a source is directly to your right.(a) Estimate the distance between a person's ears. (they gave us the answer of .2... apparently the program is messed up and we have to use .2(b) If the speed of sound in air at room temperature is vs = 338 m/s,find Δtmax. (Use your estimate.)
(c) Find Δtmax if instead you and the source are in seawater at the same temperature, where vs = 1534 m/s. (Use your estimate.)
(c) Find Δtmax if instead you and the source are in seawater at the same temperature, where vs = 1534 m/s. (Use your estimate.)

Answer:
Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as
Total time for which it will remain in air is given as
t = 6.3 s
Explanation:
As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed
now when it will reach the ground then we have
so we have
so we have
Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as
