Depends on what mass, what size due to air resistance
A ball bearing coming from orbit could be in excess of 5mps, a man falling (not from orbit! but maybe 50,000') about 180mph.

Maximum terminal velocity is defined as the velocity that an object falling in Earth's atmosphere will have drag (wind resistance) equal to its weight. To answer your question, give that velocity in mph.
