It varies based on the jurisdiction, the type of victim, and the type of assault. For instance, simple misdemeanor assault can get you up to 120 days, while misdemeanor assault on a female can get you up to 180 days. Of course, a first offense of simple assault without any sentencing enhancements might only get you probation, a fine, and/or community service.
Depending on the state, any sort of assault on a police officer is usually a felony. Similar is usually true of any sort of sexual assault. Depending on how it is defined by the jurisdiction, a felony is usually a crime which gets at least a year of time. Felony assault, also known as "aggravated assault" or "grievous bodily harm," which usually means you caused serious injuries to the other person or used weapons such as a gun or a knife, can get you much more time. Assault with intent to kill could get you up to about 21 years, though in most cases, the judge doesn't actually give that much.
From the NY State Statute:
§ 120.11 Aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer.
A person is guilty of aggravated assault upon a police officer or a
peace officer when, with intent to cause serious physical injury to a
person whom he knows or reasonably should know to be a police officer or
a peace officer engaged in the course of performing his official duties,
he causes such injury by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous
instrument.
Aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer is a class
B felony.
It doesn't take long at all. Just make it count, because it's a felony for which you could serve up to 20 years if convicted (depending on the severity of harm, local laws, and the judge), plus a fine up to $5000. However, my guess is the average sentence in the US is only about 3 years plus probation.

In some jurisdictions it is a felony offense to assault an officer in the performance of their duties. The penalty will vary according to the wording of the laws of the various states.
Depends on how bad you assaulted the officer you would be released on bail untill you go to court. Your looking up to about a year or two!
This depends on the actions. Hitting someone can result in assault and battery charges as well as disorderly conduct. Hitting an officer can result in all of the above plus assaulting an officer and resisting arrest. The pentalties for these can range from fines to jail time.
an officer is justified in using force in order to arrest a resisting suspect?

They will probably charge you with resisting arrest or assaulting police to justify beating you.
This is called obstruction of jusice or resisting arrest by giving false information.
Resisting arrest occurs when a person interferes with a law enforcement officer's attempt to arrest you.
You do not have the "right" to resist arrest, whether you believe it is a lawful or not. You have a legal duty to 'submit' to the arrest and, later, if it turns out to be mistaken, or even an illegal arrest you can take action for damages. well, why would they start to beet you up in the first place? probably resisting arrest which is not smart cause on top of what you were being arrested for now you have resisting arrest AND assaulting a police officer.
If it is the first time and he sucks up to the judge and says he didn't know what got into him probably just a good behavior bond and a slap in the wrist.
in some cases, yes it depends on the city.
Resisting arrest is when an individual intentionally interferes with a law enforcement officer's attempt to perform a legal arrest. This can include physical struggles, fleeing, or refusing to comply with an officer's orders. It is considered a crime in many jurisdictions.
