Bungee jumpers typically reach speeds of around 50 to 60 miles per hour during free fall, which translates to approximately 73 to 88 feet per second. The exact speed can vary based on factors such as the jumper's weight, the height of the jump, and the elasticity of the bungee cord. As the jumper falls, they experience acceleration due to gravity until the bungee cord begins to stretch and decelerate their fall.

Well the average terminal velocity ofr an average sized jumper is 120mph. I fall at 120mph and fall 10,000 feet in 45/50 seconds so I guess about 213 feet per second.
1 foot.
The equation is 32 feet per second, squared or 9.8 meters/second squared.
The speed keeps increasing. At any instant, the speed is 32.2 feet per second faster than it was 1 second earlier. That number is called the "acceleration of gravity".
