The time of flight is given as follows (see https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-physics/chapter/projectile-motion/):


t=2usinθgt = \dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}

where u=150m/su = 150m/s is the initial speed, θ=30°\theta = 30\degree is the launch angle, g=9.8m/s2g = 9.8m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration. Thus, obtain:


t=2150m/ssin30°9.8m/s215st = \dfrac{2\cdot 150m/s\cdot \sin30\degree}{9.8m/s^2} \approx 15s

Answer. 15s.
