When a falling object reaches a constant velocity where the drag force (opposing the motion, like air resistance) and the force of gravity (pulling the object down) are equal, this special velocity is called terminal velocity. It is an important concept in physics related to the motion of objects in fluids (air in the case of falling objects on Earth).
