Answer:

Your first few seconds in freefall will be a wee bit slower, so you'll cover a little less distance at first, but then you'll accelerate to full speed. The first 300 or so meters (1,000 feet) will take about 10 seconds to fly through. Then 5 seconds for every 300 meters after that.

hope this helps!!:)
