for the ball to get to the ground the h=0 no hight it is now in the base point.

substitute the value t=0 into the equation we get 64.

since we want to know the time in seconds then we should subtract 60 from 64 (64-60=4)

then my answer is 0-4.

I'm not sure it's correct just wait for others to respond
