The rate at which they fall increases due to gravitational acceleration. Air resistance acts against gravitational acceleration. The two are in balance at the terminal velocity. For a human falling in a stable belly-down position, and at "normal" skydiving altitudes, the terminal velocity is approx 56 metres per second. However, in 2012, Felix Baumgartner jumped from a height of over 39000 metres and, in his fall, reached a peak speed of 373 metres per second.

How many meters will a bomb which is dropped from an airplane fall in the tenth second after it is released?

In the tenth second, an object in free fall will have fallen approximately 490 meters. This is because the distance fallen increases by 1/2 the acceleration of gravity each second squared (9.8 m/s^2).
