Or is the answer to the formula for working out the terminal velocity of an object always on a tangent?  This is a hypothetical question, it does not have to be the mass of an existing object within the existing gravitational field of an object.
Thanks in advance.

the answer is uncertain, when you say terminal velocity, it's the maximum speed a moving object. there are particles that travel in the speed of light (like neutrinos, but they are said experimentally to travel "faster than speed of light") but I wont say it's their terminal velocity.

If you fall into a black hole, your velocity will approach the speed of light. It will take an infinite amount of time in the reference frame of an external observer to reach it, though.
