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

Physics
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]4 years ago
8 0

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.

Determine the energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 3.55 x10^17 hz
asambeis [7]
By using the Plancks-Einstein equation, we can find the energy;
E = hf
where h is the plancks constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴
f = frequency = 3.55 x 10¹⁷hz
E = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴) x (3.55 x 10¹⁷)
E = 2.354 x 10⁻¹⁶J

What is the density of mass 45.837grams volume 1703.3414centimeters
Finger [1]

density equals mass over volume for example: d=m/v, so 45.837g/1703.3414cm =

p = 0.02691 g/cm3  

=11.943cm

You would have to do some conversion to get the 11.943cm

What mass, in grams, of aluminum fins could 2571 J of energy heat from 15.73 ∘C to 26.50 ∘C ? Aluminum has a specific heat of 0.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

266 g or 0.266 kg

Explanation:

The formula for specific heat capacity is given as,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ..................... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat Energy, c = specific heat capacity of Aluminum, m = mass of the aluminum fins, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

make m the subject of the equation,

m = Q/c(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 2

Given : Q = 2571 J, c = 0.897 J/g.°C, t₁ = 15.73 °C, t₂ = 26.50 °C.

Substitute into equation 2

m = 2571/[0.897×(26.5-15.73)]

m = 2571/9.661

m = 266 g or 0.266 kg

Hence the mass of the Aluminum fins = 266 g or 0.266 kg

The melting point of potassium thiocyanate determined by a student in the laboratory turned out to be 174.5 oC. The accepted val
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%
