limiting velocity

At limiting velocity anything unexpected is a cause for concern.

Man was locked into his solar system by the limiting velocity of light.

I suggest you postpone activation until we are under way and at limiting velocity.

We have passed the first vortex and have reached limiting velocity.

Thus design for limiting velocities is not necessarily conservative.

But once at limiting velocity in a known starfield most crew tasks become routine.

In terms of AS1682.2 clause 5.1.4 there is no limiting velocity for their effective operation during fire conditions.

In the Dabney field it was yet to be discovered what the limiting velocity might be.

But the speed of light is a limiting velocity only for particles of finite mass.

By the time we were once again up to limiting velocity only Saul and Martha were left.

It permitted man to approach, but not to exceed, the theoretical limiting velocity of the universe: the speed of light.

Her speed would continue to rise slowly for weeks until she reached her limiting velocity, a complex function of hull shape and length.

Producing these was the responsibility of Mark's station, and was especially important now that we were at limiting velocity in an uncharted starfield.

The motor's exhaust velocity is the ship's own limiting velocity if we use teleportation to fuel the ship.

Another would put a radio-controlled device on an auto's throttle sensor, limiting velocity with a beam put out by a transmitter in a low-speed zone.

VLIMIT Limiting velocity; default is 0.0.

In 1904, he speculated that the speed of light could be a limiting velocity in dynamics, provided that the assumptions of Lorentz's theory are all confirmed.

Ignatowski had to resort to length contraction of moving electrostatic fields in order to identify this limiting velocity with the velocity of light in vacuum.

Particles for which the speed of light was a limiting velocity, yes, but a lower limiting velocity, so that they could travel only faster than light.

Chapter VIII AsHyperion crept toward her limiting velocity, as the weeks passed in stable flight, I found myself with less and less to do.

Chapter XII Saul took us up to limiting velocity through a series of easy accelerations and we made a slow but comfortable passage across the fourth starfield.

It was pumped dry before acceleration and then, after limiting velocity had been attained, had to be cleared by hand of soil and torn vegetation before it could be refilled.

So the speed of light is a limiting velocity for matter, since presumably if we could accelerate a single electron to the speed of light, its mass would expand to fill the universe.

It has been widely believed that the velocity of light is the limiting velocity, and many of our leading authorities hold this view--but it cannot be proved, and is by no means universally held.

To talk about the speed of light as the limiting velocity of an object is to talk about twelve or thirteen miles an hour as the limiting velocity of a swimmer in the sea.
