What is the speed of a free falling object?

For steady state, it is whatever speed that gives air-resistance equal to weight and it's called terminal velocity.





For ';air-resistance'; read any-fluid resistance. If falling within a vacuum there is no limit to the speed.





120mph is the figure quoted for an average human being, in averagely baggy clothing (and the person's attitude will affect things a lot), in air.

.What is the speed of a free falling object?
9.8 meters per second squared is the acceleration of an free falling object. So many round that to 10 meters a second. And of course speed is the total distance over a period of time. So say for instance an object takes 6 seconds to fall, each second is about 10 meters, so 6 seconds times 10 meters is 60 meters per second is the top speed of the free falling object.What is the speed of a free falling object?
Roughly 120 miles per hour. I believe that equates to 30 feet per second squared.
