@Soldier
Depends on the mass of the target as a result of Newton's Third Law, the more mass something has, the harder the thing it crashes into pushes back.
For simplicity's sake, let's assume our freefaller weighs around 70 kg (or roughly 155 pounds).
For this we'd use potential energy.
E = mgh where h is height and g is the gravitional acceleration constant 9.81 m/s^2
E = 70 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 350 m = 240,345 Joules, or Wall level.
Same for 1000 m
E = 70 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2000 m = 1,373,400 Joules, still Wall level
Granted, this doesn't take into account air resistance or the differences in g created by height, but as you can probably tell it's pretty difficult for it to be much higher than Wall level.
