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

Physics

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.

Answer:

Also 3s.

Explanation:

Each component is independent in two dimensional motion. This means that <em>how much time does something take to reach the ground when dropped is independent from any horizontal velocity</em>. If at one run a drop lasts 3s, at another run with twice the (horizontal) velocity and same height will also last 3s, no matter what.

A ball is thrown into the air with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s. Its height (h) in feet after t seconds is given by the
zavuch27 [327]
To answer the question, directly substitute the value given for t to the given function of height.
                     h = -16t² + 60t + 6
                     h = (-16)(3 s)² + (60)(3) + 6 = 42
Therefore, the height of the ball after 3 seconds is 42 ft.
