Answer:
It will take 16 seconds to fall 256 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance s that an object falls varies directly with the square of time t of the fall i.e.
[tex]s=kt[/tex]
Where
k is the constant of proportionality
An object falls 16 feet in one second, it means,
16 feet = 1 second
1 feet = (1/16) seconds
To fall 256 feet,
[tex]t=\dfrac{256}{16}\\\\t=16\ s[/tex]
So, it will take 16 seconds to fall 256 feet.
