Let me pass over the trip to Sante Fe with something of the same speed which made Mrs. Roebuck `` wonduh if the wahtahm speed limit '' ( 35 m.p.h. ) `` is still in ee-faket ''.

Even though the island is just minutes off Interstate 880 in Oakland, the speed limit for the city is 25 mph ( 40 km / h ) on almost every road.

In places the line's speed limit has been raised from to, and plans have been made to raise this further to on certain sections.

This is totally spurious, since no matter who measured first the other will measure the opposite spin despite the fact that ( in theory ) the other has a 50 % ' probability ' ( 50: 50 chance ) of measuring the same spin, unless data about the first spin measurement has somehow passed faster than light ( of course TI gets around the light speed limit by having information travel backwards in time instead ).

Beyond that set limit, individual users will be charged per gigabyte, depending on the speed of their connections.

There is also the obvious advantage that keeping the car gripped to the cable will also limit the downhill speed to that of the cable.

* 1965 – In the United Kingdom, a 70 mph speed limit is applied to all rural roads including motorways for the first time.

Previously, there had been no speed limit.

South of Gävle, the speed limit is on 60 % and on 30 % of the road.

The speed limits on the main roads in Sweden were changed on many stretches in October 2008, which saw the introduction of the 120 km / h limit.

Speed limits change depending on the time of the year ; the maximum speed limit on motorways is in the summer and in the winter.

The speed limit is generally which is slower than an F1 car under pit lane speed restrictions.

Some short sections have a speed limit of.

The important fact is that at very high velocities the behavior of the particle-like modes becomes distinct from the relativistic one-they can reach the speed of light limit at finite energy ; also the faster-than-light propagation is possible without requiring moving objects to have imaginary mass.

The first highway system to have been built, the extensive German Autobahn network famously features sections where no speed limit is in force.

German motorways have no blanket speed limit.

Matching the theory's prediction to observational results for planetary orbits ( or, equivalently, assuring that the weak-gravity, low-speed limit is Newtonian mechanics ), the proportionality constant can be fixed as κ = 8πG / c < sup > 4 </ sup >, with G the gravitational constant and c the speed of light.

Roads in Gibraltar are fairly narrow, with a typical speed limit of.

This is one of the reasons the speed limit on most of the island is 35mph.

Distance and speed limit signs in Northern Ireland use imperial units in common with the rest of the United Kingdom.

The maximum speed limit throughout the entire island is 40 mph ( 64 km / h ), with slower limits on certain stretches of road, such as 20 / 30 mph ( 32 / 48 km / h ) in built up areas and 15 mph ( 24 km / h ) in Green Lanes.

* 1974 – President Richard Nixon signs a bill lowering the maximum U. S. speed limit to 55 MPH in order to conserve gasoline during an OPEC embargo.

He was fined 1 shilling, plus costs, for speeding at, thus exceeding the contemporary speed limit of.

Japanese aircraft were strong on maneuverability, American on speed and firepower.

As time has passed and science has progressed, the speed of military vehicles has increased, the range of missiles has been extended, the use of target-hunting noses on the projectiles has been adopted, and the range and breadth of message sending has increased.

The Queen Mary has long been a symbol of speed, luxury, and impeccable British service on the high seas.

The speed is controlled by pressing on the two brake buttons located where the index finger and thumb are placed when holding the motor.

If there is anything which we can do in the executive branch of the Government to speed up the processes by which we come to decisions on matters on which we must act promptly, that in itself would be a major contribution to the conduct of our affairs.

Designers and manufacturers have produced models for purchasers who run the gamut from a nautical version of the elderly Pasadena lady who never drove more than five miles an hour on her once-a-month ride around the block, to the sportiest boatman who insists on all the dash, color, flair and speed possible to encompass in a single boat.

Each cutting tool will operate best at a given speed, depending on the material worked.

On most drill presses, it is impossible to get the exact speed, but you can come close by adjusting the drive belt on the step-cone pulleys.

They were coming on at reckless speed for such old vehicles.

The son of a wealthy Evanston executive was fined $100 yesterday and forbidden to drive for 60 days for leading an Evanston policeman on a high speed chase over icy Evanston and Wilmette streets Jan. 20.

The official winners were Peugeot and Panhard as cars were judged on their speed, handling and safety characteristics, and De Dion's steam car needed a stoker which was forbidden.

As the meter is defined in terms of the second, and the speed of light is constant for all observers, the terrestrial meter appears to change in length compared to the " planetary meter " on a periodic basis.

This corresponds to a speed of around 0. 05 c. There is surprisingly small variation around this energy, due to the heavy dependence of the half-life of this process on the energy produced ( see equations in the Geiger – Nuttall law ).

The capacitors on each drum were organized into 32 " bands " of 50 ( 30 active bands and 2 spares in case a capacitor failed ), giving the machine a speed of 30 additions / subtractions per second.

This meant that although ROM applications ran at the same speed, there was a substantial speed decrease on applications running from RAM.

* 2007 – Conventional-Train World Speed Record: a French TGV train on the LGV Est high speed line sets an official new world speed record.

Armored cars are typically less expensive and on roads have better speed and range than tracked military vehicles.

The all-flying tailplane which are common on supersonic planes also help maintain control near the speed of sound.

Since the air on the top of the wing is traveling faster than on the bottom, due to Bernoulli effect, at speeds close to the speed of sound the air on the top of the wing will be accelerated to supersonic.
