depends on where it falls - on mars, earth or sun... On earth, it is about 9,8 m/sec^2. In general, it can be estimated by newton's formula F=G*m*M/R^2, where G is a constant, m is mass of the falling body, M is a mass of gravitating object (earth) R is distance between them. Consequently, acceleration is F/m = ...

How fast is the acceleration of a falling body?
if body is free falling state its acceleration would be 9.8meter/second2
What is constant for freely falling body?
Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
no
How could the experiment be modified to study the acceleration of a free falling body?
It isn't clear what experiment you are talking about.
What causes a falling object to reach terminal velocity?
Its the air resistance that causes the free falling body to reach its terminal velocity
How fast is the acceleration of a falling body?
if body is free falling state its acceleration would be 9.8meter/second2
Is the constant acceleration of a free falling body?
YES
What is constant for freely falling body?
Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.
What is the formula for the acceleration of a free falling body?
A - 9.8m/s2
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
no
How will value of the acceleration be affected if the falling body is heavy?
The value of acceleration in a free-falling body is constant (g). The mass of the body will have no effect on the acceleration. On earth, if you drop a heavy weight and a feather together, the weight will hit the ground first because the feather is held back by air resistance. If you do the same thing in a vacuum (as was demonstrated by an astronaut on the moon) both will hit the ground at the same time.
A free falling body has different acceleration in every parts of the worldTRUE OR FALSE?
False
How could the experiment be modified to study the acceleration of a free falling body?
It isn't clear what experiment you are talking about.
What causes a falling object to reach terminal velocity?
Its the air resistance that causes the free falling body to reach its terminal velocity
What is the acceleration of a falling object?
The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.
Weight equals mass X acceleration of free-fall?
No, because acceleration of free fall is gravitational acceleration minus air resistance. Weight does not involve air resistance.
What is the acceleration of an object in free-fall?
On Earth, a free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second2.
