Could you elaborate on the concept of "gravity falling"? Are you referring to the acceleration due to gravity, or perhaps the speed at which objects are pulled towards a massive body like a planet? If it's the latter, gravity itself doesn't "fall"; it's a force that acts on objects, causing them to accelerate towards the center of a gravitational field. The rate of this acceleration, also known as the gravitational acceleration, is constant NEAR the surface of the Earth and is approximately 9.8 m/s² (or 32.2 ft/s²). So, in a sense, an object's speed towards the Earth's surface due to gravity increases at a constant rate, not that gravity itself is "falling." I hope this helps clarify your question.

For a human skydiver, the terminal velocity is around 53 meters per second, which is equivalent to 190 kilometers per hour or 118 miles per hour.

The acceleration of an object in free fall NEAR the Earth's surface, in a vacuum, is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared. This rate of acceleration is universal, applying equally to all objects, regardless of their mass.

However, when an object is subjected to air resistance, its downward velocity is impacted. As the object falls, the air resistance increases, slowing its descent.

Eventually, the object reaches a point where the force of gravity pulling it downwards is balanced by the force of air resistance pushing it upwards. This is known as terminal velocity.
