That depends on many different factors, the two most obvious ones being friction and gravity.
If the object is completely frictionless, and falling at 9.8m/s2 (an approximation of the average acceleration from Earth's gravity), then it would gain 9.8m/s in speed with each second that passes.
If on the other hand it was falling in a frictionless environment on Jupiter, it would gain approximately 24.79 m/s.

How far does a free falling object fall per second?
Every second, it falls farther and faster than it fell in the previous second.
What is Feet per second of a falling ice cube?
Neglecting the effect of air resistance, the speed of any falling object ... including ice cubes ... is always 32.2 feet per second greater than it was one second earlier.
How can height affect the time for an object to fall?
The acceleration of gravity is 32 feet per second, per second. This means that --eliminating any obvious aerodynamic considerations as there would be with, say, a feather -- the speed at which an object falls increases proportionately to the time it is falling. An object falling from a greater height will be falling for a longer time period and thus will reach a higher velocity and impact the ground with a greater force than one falling from a lower height.
How many meters will a 2kg ball moves starting from rest fall freely in one second?
The mass is irrelevant. If the object is in free fall (that is, air resistance can be neglected), an object will fall 4.9 meters in one second.
Is an object falling freely equivalent to the object sliding down on a frictionless inclined plane?
intresting to say, one would say yes, but its a little bit more complicated. The object that is falling freely has a just one vector which is going down equivalent to the gravity constant, therefore could be seen as E(z)->=mgh. Looking at the frictionless inclined plane, the movement consist of two vectors, one moving down, which has the exact composition as the object falling freely (and therefore with the exact same resistance factor), but the second vector participates as well, to move it in the horizontal plane. High school physics learns us that in an experiment that where one ball is falling freely and an other shot at the exact time in the horizontal direction will fall at the ground at the same time. However, due to the fact that this is an inclined plane, one could say in general that there is a possibility that they will fall together, but I'm not sure of that. The horizontal movement might induce some wind resistance and furthermore, its downfall component sees a lot of resistance, to its partly neglected. The answer for your question would be then; It depends based on factors, such as the gradient of inclining and the amount of wind resistance produced to its horizontal movement
