Answer:

Speed = 24 m/s.

No! It doesn't break the speed limit.

Explanation:

The formula we'll be using to find the car's speed:

\boxed{ \mathsf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }}

The detectors are placed 1.2 m apart.

==> Distance the car travels = 1.2 m

The car, it says, takes 0.050 s to travel that distance.

==> Time taken by the car to travel 1.2 m = 0.050 s

Using the formula mentioned above, let's calculate the speed of the car:

\sf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }

\implies \sf{speed =  \frac{1.2}{0.050} }

<em>On</em><em> </em><em>dividing</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>obtain</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>.</em>

\implies \sf{speed = 24 \: m/s }

Any car traveling with a speed that is greater than or equal to <u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u> is breaking the speed limit.

And since the car in our focus is traveling at 24 m/s that is less than 25 m/s, it doesn't break the speed limit.

The typical unit for a period used with Kepler's third law is
ollegr [7]
Well, if you're using the law to work with periods of Earth satellites,
then the most convenient unit is going to be 'hours' for the largest
orbits, or 'minutes' for the LEOs.

But if you're using it to work with periods of planets, asteroids, or
comets, then you'd be working in days or years.
