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

Physics
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]3 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.

A student runs up a flight of stairs which info is not needed to calculate the rate of the student is doing work against gravity
NikAS [45]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Given that a student runs up a flight of stairs which info is not needed to calculate the rate of the student is doing work against gravity A the height of the flight of stairs B the length of flight of stairs C the time taken to run up the stairs D the weight of the student

The rate of doing work is known as power.

Power = work done/time

Work done = energy = mgh

Since energy = mgh

Where mg = weight

And h = height

Time = time taken to run up the stairs.

Time, weight mg and height h will be needed while the Length of the flight is therefore not needed.

The correct answer is B.

I need to know what a-e is. Please and thank you!
beks73 [17]
The different types of energy transfers are convection, conduction, and radiation. 
I'm not too sure on the second one but thermodynamics relates thermal energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy. I'm basing this on the formulas of the laws of thermodynamics, but it could also be temperature, heat, or work.

Can inserting a resistor in a circuit produce an effect similar to a short circuit?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

By ‘inserting’ you means to putting a resistor in series. In this case, no, there is no resistance that would produce the same effect as a short circuit.

If you adding a resistor in parallel with the circuit, then if it had a low value It might be similar to a short circuit. I
