The formula to calculate the time it takes for an object to fall from a certain height is t = √(2h/g), where h is the height and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 32.2 feet/second²).

So, substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

t = √(2*60/32.2) = √(120/32.2) = √3.72 ≈ 1.93 seconds.

So, it takes approximately 1.93 seconds for the toy to hit the ground.
