Answer:

It constantly increases

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object is in free fall, it accelerates at a constant rate set by the mass and therefore mass of our planet, which happens to be about 9.8m/s^2. This means that every second, the object goes about 9.8m/s faster. Therefore, the velocity of an object in free fall constantly increases. Hope this helps!
