if we lunch a projectile with the act of air resistance which t (time) is longer
t1 =>from t=0 to arriving to the highest point
t2=> from highest point to the lanch point

You tell me. Choose two points at the same height of the trajectory. Compare their velocities. This should be a great hint.
 
my problem is velocity i don't know how air rsistance affects on velocity?
 
Consider the forces when a particle is thrown upwards.
And the forces then it is going downeards.
Straightforward answer!
 
In case you didn't know... Fair = -kv, where k is some constant. This means that the faster the ball is going, more air resistance is acting.
