if an object falls 16 feet in 1 second, how far will it take an object to fall 64 feet?

the distance s that an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time t of the fall. if an object falls 16 feet in 1 second, how far will it take an object to fall 64 feet?

Hi Jude;
Acceleration due to gravity is universally the same, 9.8 m/s2, 32 feet/s2.  Size is a non-issue.  Weight is an issue for maximum velocity only because the greater the weight the greater the ability to fight air resistance.
