Projectile with Mid-Flight Event (Breakup or Bounce)

The question involves a projectile that undergoes a discrete event during flight—such as breaking into parts, bouncing with energy loss, or an explosion—and asks for post-event quantities like time to land or new maximum height.

A projectile is thrown from a point O on the ground at an angle $45^\circ$ from the vertical and with a speed $5\sqrt{2}$ m/s. The projectile at the highest point of its trajectory splits into two equal parts. One part falls vertically down to the ground, 0.5 s after the splitting. The other part, $t$ seconds after the splitting, falls to the ground at a distance $x$ meters from the point O. The acceleration due to gravity $g = 10$ m/s$^2$.
The value of $t$ is ____.

A projectile moving vertically upwards with a velocity of $200 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ breaks into two equal parts at a height of 490 m. One part starts moving vertically upwards with a velocity of $400 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. How much time it will take, after the break up with the other part to hit the ground?
(1) $2\sqrt{10} \mathrm{~s}$
(2) 5 s
(3) 10 s
(4) $\sqrt{10} \mathrm{~s}$
