    Time to return to same height=1.1632 s

    Explanation:

    This is a projectile motion

    ux=1.2 m/s,

    uy=5.7 m/s

    Time to return to same height = t = 2uy/g = 2*5.7 / 9.8 = 1.1632 sec

    Horizontal range = uxt = 1.2*1.1632 = 1.3959 m

    Horizontal velocity remains same. But Vertical velocity will change. When it reaches same height it will attain same velocity. But after that vertical velocity will change due to gravity and covers a distance of s = 3.49 m.

    Final vertical velocity vy, then vy2=uy2+2gS = 5.72+2*9.8*3.49 = 100.894 or vy=10.044 m/sec

    Magnitude of velocity when it hits water is = sqrt (1.22 + 10.0442) = 10.116 m/sec

    Time to return to same height=1.1632 s
