Of what? - The speed of light seems to be some sort of maximum speed in the Universe - about 300,000 km/sec.
Maximum velocity is subject to velocity of what, and depends on a number of different factors, engine power of a car or plane, resistance of the medium etc.
It is often missed that this is always a maximum only in the 'local background'. i.e. a Mars Rover may only do 5mph, but may do 1,000mph with respect to earth.
Vice versa, if a policeman with a radar gun on Mars clocks you at 1,00mph, do not expect to get off. Current common interpretation of Special Relativity says Mars' motion cannot be simply be added to your speed, even though it is not a 'real' speed in the local background.
Scientific understanding is ever evolving.

What isnit called when an object is moving at its maximum velocity?
Terminal Velocity
How does air resistance affect fallig objects?
terminal velocity is the final maximum velocity of a falling object.
What is terminal velocity and what causes it?
Terminal velocity is an object's maximum speed while falling through the air, and it happens when the force created by air resistance is equal to the force of gravity.
What is the difference between terminal speed and terminal velocity?
The difference between terminal speed and terminal velocity is really simple. Terminal speed can be used to refer to the maximum speed an object can reach before factors like friction prevent anymore speed to be gained. Terminal velocity, however, generally refers to the rate at which this speed was gained.
What is the minimum velocity required to project a body from a height h so that it will not fall back on earth?
if it was a continuous velocity then 10mps i guess because that is the terminal velocity when an object is dropped this is another person who answer actuallyn you are wrong terminal velocity is the maximum

What is the maximum terminal velocity on planet Jupiter?
There is no such thing as "maximum terminal velocity", neither on Jupiter nor hear on Earth. The "terminal velocity" depends on the specific object - and on the atmospheric conditions. For example, a very heavy object will typically have a larger terminal velocity than one that is very light; and near Earth's surface, the terminal velocity (for a given object) will be smaller than in the upper atmosphere, where there is less air resistance.
Is terminal velocity a type of friction?
No. Terminal velocity is a particular kind of velocity and friction is a particular kind of force. The terminal velocity of a falling object is the maximum velocity it can have because air resistance prevents it from going any faster. And air resistance is a type of friction. So terminal velocity is due to a type of friction.

What is the terminal velocity of an airplane?
That is it's maximum speed. Different for every aircraft.

What is the maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity?
Its called terminal velocity
What is the maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to force due to gravity?
Its called terminal velocity
What is the final velocity?
Perhaps you mean Terminal Velocity, as in a parachute fall? This is the maximum speed reached in the fall. Final velocity will be zero, assuming you arrive on the ground.
The maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity?
It's called terminal velocity! :)
