Water shoots out from a fountain at 40 m/s at an angle of 55° above the horizontal.
What is its time of flight?
vel= 40m/s
angle =55
V up = 40 sin (55)= 8.2 m/s
v= u +at
t=(v-u)/g
t=(0-8.2)/-9.8
t= 0.84 s

            The solution / (the calculations)  in the post by   @mananth are     INCORRECT.

            I came to bring you a correct solution. 


Vertical component of the initial velocity is   = 40*sin(55°) = 40*0.8189 = 32.75 m/s.



The time for water to get the maximum height is   =  =  = 3.28 seconds.



The time of the flight is  (assuming that the hose is at the ground level)


     =  = 2*3.28 = 6.55 seconds.



The maximum height =  =  = 53.8 meters.

----------

What is  "the range"  in your last question is unclear to me,  so I stop my solution at this point.
