time to fall: t=sqrt(2h/g)
solve that for time.

vertical free fall equation ... h = -1/2 g t^2 + Vo t + Ho

0 = -1/2 * 9.8 * t^2 + 0 + 10 = -4.9 t^2 + 10

solve for t (quadratic formula)

the horizontal motion has no effect on the flight time
Answered by Henry2,
0.5g*t^2 = 10.
4.9t^2 = 10,
t = 1.43 s.
