In kinematics, the instantaneous speed of an object (denoted v) is the magnitude of its instantaneous velocity (the rate of change of its position); it is thus the scalar equivalent of velocity. The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance traveled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero.

Like velocity, speed has the dimensions of a length divided by a time; the SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most usual unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in certain countries, the mile per hour.

The fastest possible speed at which energy or information can travel, according to special relativity, is the speed of light in vacuum c = 299,792,458 meters per second, approximately 1079 million kilometers (671 million miles) per hour. Matter cannot quite reach the speed of light, as this would require an infinite amount of energy.

What is the actual distribution of broadband speeds in the US?
Q. I would like to see two distributions. One for actual download speeds, and another for actual upload speeds, for home broadband connections. I'd like to be able to look at the chart and see, say, 20% of homes have download speeds less than 800Kbs. Or less than 5% can upload at greater than 5.2 Mbs.

A. Since that's probably considered a trade secret by most (if not all) providers, it's not likely that you'll see anything more than guesses. And that's only connection speeds. Actual upload and download speeds would be impossible, since each packet travels at a different speed.

Are speed cameras in the UK effective at reducing driving speeds?
Q. I was recently on holiday in the UK (from Canada) and was quite surprised to see the number of speed cameras (or warning signs, at least) on UK highways. I know that many drivers must find them irritating, but given that violations carry fairly substantial fines, it would appear that it must be difficult for drivers to ignore them. Does anyone know how effective the traffic camera systems have been at reducing speeds, or can you point me to references that discuss their effectiveness?

A. Speed cameras are the prostate exam of the road, nobody likes them but we're made to believe they're necessary. The only people who like speed camera's are police and politicians because they bring in over 250 million dollars a year in revenue. Nobody knows how many lives they save, because nobody cares. The only good thing about them is once you know where they are, you can slow down as you come up to them and then speed off merrily as they go out of range.

What tax advantages are there for using wind power and what speeds are required?
Q. Are there U.S. federal tax advantages or rebates for using wind power? Does Illinois have tax advantages or rebates for using wind power? What are the required average wind speeds for Chicago and other areas to successfully use wind power?
Asked by MJ in Illinois - Wed Feb 21 12:45:55 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 9MPH for sustainable electricity generation.(low wattage production at that speed) US government currently offers tax incentives for eco-friendly conversions like wind generation or solar power. however last I knew there was a cap of 2000 dollars. As a republican can I just say Thanks for nuttin George. I've got your rebate right here! Some lenders have special programs to help you set up a system with lower interest rates you may want to see if there are any "Green" credit unions or co-ops that lend. Join one and go from there
