That depends on the weight and shape of the object that's falling,
but it has nothing to do with the length of the fall.

About 11 miles per hour.
How the speed of an object changes during a fall?
Since all objects have an acceleratio due to gravity of 9.8ms-1, the only thing affecting how fast it falls is the object's surface area.Weight has nothing to do with how fast things fall, only wind resistance. Take two 16 ounce soda bottles, open one drink eight ounces. The unopened bottle is twice as heavy as the opened bottle. Close the bottle you just drank half of and drop them at the same time from a tall building, they will hit the ground at the same time. That is because gravity is a constant and the velocity of any falling object is 9.8 meters per second/per second. Acceleration is the same for all objects at m/s^2 (32.2 ft/s^2 or 22 mph) for each second of its descent. Thus, ignoring air resistance an object starting from rest will attain a velocity of 9.81 m/s after one second, 19.62 m/s after two seconds, and so on. If you are wondering why a hammer hit the ground before a feather, look at it's aerodynamic qualities, it has nothing to do with its weight. Air resitance depends on the coefficient of drag and has nothing to do with weight.
What is the velocity of a 5.56 mm bullet?
Usually between 2500 and 3200 feet per second out of a 16" barrel, depending on the weight of the projectile.
The impulse given to a ball with mass of 4 kg is 16 Nsec If the ball starts from rest what is its final velocity?
An impulse is simply a change of momentum, and momentum is defined as mass x velocity; so you just divide the momentum by the mass to get the velocity. Note about the units: newton x second is the same as kilogram x meter/second2.
A 180 lb person jumps from 16 story building how fast do they fall?
32 feet per second per second is the standard acceleration.As the object accelerates (usually downwards due to gravity), the drag force acting on the object increases. At a particular speed, the drag force produced will be equal to the downward force, mostly the weight (mg), of the object. Eventually, it plummets at a constant speed called terminal velocity (also called settling velocity). Terminal velocity varies directly with the ratio of drag to weight. More drag means a lower terminal velocity, while increased weight means a higher terminal velocity. An object moving downward at greater than terminal velocity (for example because it was affected by a force downward or it fell from a thinner part of the atmosphere or it changed shape) will slow until it reaches the terminal velocity. For example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a free-fall position with a semi-closed parachute is about 195 km/h (120 mph or 55m/s).[1] This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the acceleration process, since the effective forces on the body more and more closely balance each other as the terminal velocity is approached. In this example, a speed of 50% of terminal velocity is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99% and so on. Higher speeds can be attained if the skydiver pulls in his limbs (see also freeflying). In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 89 m/s),[1] which is also the maximum speed of the peregrine falcon diving on its prey.[2] Competition speed skydivers fly in the head down position reaching even higher speeds. The current world record is 614 mph (988 km/h) by Joseph Kittinger, set at high altitude where the lesser density of the atmosphere decreased drag.[1] An object falling on Earth will fall 9.80 meters per second faster every second (9.8 m/s²). The reason an object reaches a terminal velocity is that the drag force resisting motion is directly proportional to the square of its speed. At low speeds, the drag is much less than the gravitational force and so the object accelerates. As it accelerates, the drag increases, until it equals the weight. Drag also depends on the projected area. This is why things with a large projected area, such as parachutes, have a lower terminal velocity than small objects such as cannon balls.
