Final answer:

The exact speed at which Truck Speed Limiters must be set can vary by jurisdiction and isn't given in the question, so it's essential to consult current local regulations for the proper setting. 33 m/s converts to 118.8 km/h, exceeding the 90 km/h speed limit. An 80 km/h speed limit is equivalent to 22.2 m/s and 49.7 mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

The topic of this question revolves around the concept of speed limits and how they are regulated, particularly in the context of vehicles with mandatory Truck Speed Limiters. When concerning the set speed for these speed limiters, this information can be specific to certain jurisdictions and may change over time, so it is essential to consult current local regulations for the most accurate answer. However, the question does not provide a definitive context for the required speed setting for truck speed limiters. The examples given, such as a vehicle reaching speeds far beyond common speed limits, serve to underscore the importance of imposing such regulations for safety.

The first example question discusses a car traveling at a speed of 33 m/s and asks to convert that into kilometers per hour (km/h). The conversion is a two-step process. First, multiply 33 m/s by 3.6 to get the speed in km/h; which results in 118.8 km/h. As for whether this is exceeding the 90 km/h speed limit, yes, it does exceed that limit.

In regards to conversions, the speed limit of 80 km/h mentioned in one of the example questions converts to 22.2 m/s and 49.7 mi/h. This can be calculated by understanding that 1 km/h is equal to 0.277778 m/s and 1 km is approximately 0.621371 miles.
