Dr. Eggman's floating masterpiece, called the Egg carrier, is seen flying horizontally at 450 m/s at a height of 1,100 m above Station Square. A small object, quite possibly an unconscious birdy, is seen to be ejected horizontally in the same direction the Egg carrier is flying. Assume the object doesn't strike anything midair. How long is the birdy in the air before it strikes the ground?
