# maximumLinearSpeed

> The fastest any body in the world can move, in meters per second. Each simulation step, a body moving faster than this is slowed to it, which stops a body covering so much distance in one step that the simulation becomes unstable.

### Remarks

A value below [PhysicsConstants.MinMaximumLinearSpeed](/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/u2d/physics/physicsconstants/minmaximumlinearspeed.md) is raised to that minimum. See [PhysicsWorld.maximumLinearSpeed](/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/u2d/physics/physicsworld/maximumlinearspeed.md).
