Ignoring damping effect what will be the velocity of a free falling body near earth's surface?

Any 'damping effect' is the result of air resistance. In the absence of air, the velocity of a free falling body near the earth's surface is always directed downward, and is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second greater, at any instant, than it was one second earlier.
