Explanation:

It is given that, the distance(d) that a dropped object falls in t seconds is given by the following equation as :

(d)/(16)=t^2 ............(1)

Where

d is the distance (in feet)

t is time (in seconds)

We need to find the time taken by the object to fall 64 feets. Put the value of d = 64 feet in equation (1) as :

(64)/(16)=t^2

t^2=4

t = 2 seconds

So, the object will take 2 seconds to fall 64 feets. Hence, this is the required solution.
