I'm reluctant to answer because the wording of the question suggests the person asking is looking for answers that meet undefined constraints.
One way to increase the terminal velocity of a falling object is to drop it in a vacuum.
Another is to drop it in a atmosphere of hydrogen.
.
1. increase the mass, without increasing the drag coefficient.
2. Decrease the drag coefficient, without decreasing the mass.

Is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is it called momentum?
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called the terminal velocity.For an object falling at the terminal velocity, the weight force of the objectis balanced by the drag force and buoyant force on the object.W + FDRAG + FBUOYANT = FNET = 0.0
Is there a maximum velocity to a falling object?
Yes, there is a maximum velocity for a falling object, known as terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is reached when the force of air resistance on the falling object is equal to the force of gravity acting on it, resulting in a constant velocity. The terminal velocity varies depending on factors like the object's size, shape, and weight.
What forces are acting on an object when it is falling at terminal velocity?
When an object is falling at terminal velocity, the forces of gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing upward are balanced. This results in a constant velocity for the object as it falls.
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
Yes. When the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the falling object, the net force on the object becomes zero, causing it to reach terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
