Yes, but only in free-fall. If I'm driving at 60 mph, I have a constant velocity, but it's not my "terminal velocity" in the sense that there is no limit to my acceleration caused by air friction. But yes, an object in free-fall reaches its terminal velocity when its velocity stops increasing (acceleration=0).
No. An object's terminal velocity depends on how much air it must push aside while
it falls, and if there were no air, there would be no such thing as terminal velocity.
In air, different objects have different terminal velocities, depending on their weight
and shape. All of this is the main reason that parachutes are popular for activities
where falling is involved.
Terminal velocity is the velocity that a falling object approaches asymptotically as it falls through a resisting medium (like air). If an object impacts something before getting close to the terminal velocity it will still have an "ending velocity" but it won't be the same as the terminal velocity. If an object falls far enough, the ending velocity will approach the terminal velocity close enough for them to be essentially the same.
Speed takes no notice of the direction of the motion.
Velocity means the speed and its direction.
Terminal velocity is the velocity of a falling object once it has become constant, so they are the same thing.
The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object. For example, a sheet of paper will have a very low terminal velocity; the terminal velocity for a man will be much higher.
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.
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
Terminal velocity for a feather will be considerably lower than the terminal velocity of a bullet. The size and shape of the object will play an important role. While objects dropped from a given height in a vacuum will fall to earth at the same velocity, the resistance caused by atmosphere will be different for different objects.
the terminal velocity is the total speed that its take an object to reach the point it required from the initial velocity

That is the object's terminal velocity.
terminal velocity
Gravity. The object starts at zero velocity, and gravity always pulls the same. Drag, however, increases when velocity increases. Terminal velocity is when gravity has accelerated the object to the speed where drag is the same as gravity.
When the speed (of falling) is increased, the force of gravitation will be the same, but the air resistance will increase. At some speed, the two will be in balance - there will be no more acceleration, and the object is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
Terminal velocity defines the point at which an object will no longer accelerate. When a falling object reaches terminal velocity, it will continue to fall at a constant speed.
