dose any body know the speed that you fall at when in free fall and how many feet a second you fall at

I did a 10,000 foot skydive.
Free falling the first 5,000 feet took 30 seconds (approx).

The gravitational force exerted as the human body falls is 32 Ft per second, per second.
That is, jump orf a plane @ 10,000ft, the first second your falling at 32 ft per second, the second second(confused?) your falling at 64 ft per second, third second 128 ft per second and so on until terminal velocity ( the point at which the forces of acceleration and wind resistence and other fators balance each other out) is reached.
I'm not sure of the terminal velocity of the human body, and precise numbers would need to take into account individual areodynamics, weight of equip/clothes ect

The speed or the acceleration has no relation with your weight...
A bird and an elephant can fall from a plane and reach the floor in the same time together (if we ignore the air resistant)...
Your acceleration is the gravity of earth: around 10 meters/s additional speed in every second (9.8 m/s2)...

depends on the height from which you fall.

you get to about 130mph when falling, though you can speed up by streamlining.
