Answer:

4 Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the height of the ground is set at y = 0.

Then, since 16 times 4 is 64, we substitute 4 for x.

But wait! x is being squared!

So we need to find out what squared is 4. It's 2.

So, with x being equal to two, y is equal to 0.

But what is the number of seconds? We actually got it first.

That means that the answer is 4.

The pinecone takes 4 seconds to reach the ground.
