(both rounded)
Assuming the object is falling near the surface of the Earth and neglecting air resistance, the object will fall approximately 4.9 meters in 1 second. This calculation is based on the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared.
It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)
Gravity is forcing an object to fall to the ground. Another force is friction from air pressure on the falling object.
If an object is in "free fall", it means that the only force acting on it is gravity.

acceleration at surface on moon = 1.623 (m/s)/s. v = a*t = 1.623 * 1 = 1.623 metres / second

when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.
78.46 meters (257.4 feet)
acceleration at surface on moon = 1.623 (m/s)/s. v = a*t = 1.623 * 1 = 1.623 metres / second

Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity
The final speed of an object in free fall is known as terminal velocity. Terminal velocity on Earth can range from 54 meters per second (in SI units) to 90 meters per second based on aerodynamics.
The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.
The mass is irrelevant. If the object is in free fall (that is, air resistance can be neglected), an object will fall 4.9 meters in one second.
