Answer:The answer is 40 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation: You can find this out by seeing it starts 60 feet in the air. For every second it travles 1.5 units down.

60 feet /1.5 feet per second =40 seconds till it hits the ground.

This is my first time answering a question thx for the great rating!
