How long is it in the air?

hf=hi+Viv*t-1/2 g t^2

solve that for t.
141 m
141.39m = R

R = ((vi)^2 * sin(2 theta))/gravity
A batted baseball leaves the bat with an angle of 30* above the horizontal is caught by an outfielder 120m from the plate.
a. What was the initial velocity of the ball?
b. How high did it rise?
c. How long was it in the air?
