There is no definite speed for free falling. If an object is released somewhere above the earth, the speed is changing every single moment. It is never the same speed it was before at any time; only until an object releases terminal velocity where it is moving at a constant speed. This is different for every object. The acceleration due to the gravity of the earth is 32 feet/second^2. This means that for every second that passes, an object is moving 32 feet/second faster than it was the second before.

What is the fastest free fall speed slide called?

Does the speed of free fall affected by the density of the object?
No. When an object is in free fall it has a downward force (it's mass) and an opposite, upward force of air resistance.
How much does the speed of an object in free fall change each second?
9m/s2
What does free fall mean in Newtonian physics?
Free fall in Newtonian physics is when a body has reached terminal velocity and so cannot speed up any more. It is therefore just falling at a set pace and will not reduce or increase that speed.
If an object is in free fall after each second how does the object fall?
The speed of an object in free fall near the earth's surface is always 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second morethan it was one second earlier.

What is the worlds fastest free fall speed record as of October 2012?
I think that the fastest free fall speed is limited by physics to 32 ft per second per second.

Can you describe how velocity changes during free fall?
Yes I can! I shall now do so, ignoring the effects of air resistance: During free fall, the direction of motion doesn't change. But the speed increases, steadily and continuously. The amount by which the speed increases each second is called the "acceleration of gravity". On earth, the speed is 9.8 meters per second (32.2 ft per second) greater after each second of free fall.
