Impact velocity depends on the mass of the object and the height it falls from. It is the speed at which the acceleration due to gravity is maximized.
The velocity of a freely falling object will CHANGE (not necessarily increase - it can also decrease, or simply change direction) at a rate of about 9.8 meters per second, every second.
It is 9.8 metres per second^2.
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.
Any change in the velocity of anything is known as 'acceleration'. In the case of a falling object near the Earth's surface, the direction of the velocity is constant, and its magnitude increases by 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second, every second.
5*9.8 = 49 metres per second.
The force of gravity causes the falling object's velocity to grow in magnitude by 9.8 meters per second every second, while its direction remains constant.
Ignoring air resistance ... Any object dropped near the Earth's surface reaches a speed of 43.9 feet per second after falling 30 feet. The velocity is 43.9 feet per second down. The object's weight makes no difference.

That is the approximate acceleration produced by gravitation near the Earth's surface. It means that the velocity of a freely falling object (i.e., no significant air resistance) will change by 9.8 meters per second, every second.
5*9.8 = 49 metres per second.
The force of gravity causes the falling object's velocity to grow in magnitude by 9.8 meters per second every second, while its direction remains constant.
A falling object accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. That means that for every second that it is falling, its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s. The higher that the object is falling from, the longer it will have to speed up, thus the higher its velocity upon impact will be. (This is assuming that it does not reach terminal velocity, the velocity at which an object can no longer accelerate because it is travelling so fast that the drag force (air resistance) is equal to the force of gravity.)

With the information given, all that can be said is that the distance is greater than the distance the object traveled in the previous second.
98 meters (322 feet) per second.
The Answer Is Roughly 7 Miles Per Second
9.8 meters/second2 x 10 seconds = 98 meters/second.
A freely falling Ball has the acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s so after 5 seconds its velocity will be: t=5s a=9.8m/s/s v=5s * 9.8m/s/s =49 m/s
