If the mass of a material is 99 grams and the volume of the material is 22 cm3, what would the density of the material be?

Kazeer [188]

You are asked to give the answer in g/cm3. So without knowing any single formulae you can just divide grams by cm3.

 $\frac{99 grams}{22 cm^{3} }$

= 4.5 g/cm3

Why do streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits?

andrew11 [14]

They actually DO have velocity limits. There are legal restrictions on both speed and direction.

-- Speeds are limited according to the black numbers on white signs that you see on sign-posts everywhere.

-- Directions are limited by the layout of the pavement and curbs on all the highways, avenues, roads, boulevards and streets, as well as the countless signs that say "One Way", "No Left Turn", "Keep Right", "Keep Left", etc. Violate one of these, and you get nailed as sure as if you had exceeded a posted speed limit.
