Is it true that the steady speed reached by a skydiver is called the terminal velocity?

Yes. Not just a skydiver; anything that falls long enough will eventually reach "terminal velocity", which means that it will continue falling at a constant speed, because the force of gravity and the force of air resistance are in balance.

In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.
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.
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
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! :)
How do atoms pass their terminal velocity in a particle accelerator?
Passing the terminal velocity is clearly not possible, otherwise it could not be called the terminal velocity!

Is it possible for the sky diver in this picture to be falling at a constant velocity?
Any skydiver can fall at a constant velocity. This is called the, "Terminal velocity". Since we do not have the picture that you mention, nothing more can be assumed.

What is it called When an objects speed is not changing?
Terminal velocity if it has reached its top speed. Or obviously constant speed.

What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity

What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
What is the most velocity of a falling object can get called?
terminal velocity
What isnit called when an object is moving at its maximum velocity?
Terminal Velocity
