What is the acceleration rate in mph of an average size car in free fall?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Gravity will accelerate the car at 9.8 meters/second, bringing it to ~26.8 meters/second (IE, 60mph) in approximately 2.73 seconds.
Some cars, of course, can accelerate faster than gravity will pull them downwards (in a straight line) - but it takes a tremendous amount of power to do so See the Bugatti Veyron as an example. :D

And By the way it doesn't make any difference how large or small the car is.
The same answer applies for a marble as for a bowling ball.

Gravity accelerates no faster than 32 f/s, so
that'd be no faster than 2.75 seconds. Different size cars don't necessarily matter, but less aerodynamic cars would fall more slowly.
