I think you're forgetting to take air resistance and other factors into account? Google terminal velocity.

Edit: If you meant prior to re-entry of Earth's atmosphere, the force of gravity is changing the objects course, thereby affecting acceleration, speed, velocity, etc

I wasn't forgetting, just under estimating it. I expected the terminal velocity to be higher.
