Add a "speed limit" to a physical object.
By checking whenever the [[distance]] of an object's velocity exceeds a set limit, we can [[normalize]] and [[scale]] to it:

Notes

This should be used sparingly. No real object can instantaneously change its velocity, and simulated objects may behave weirdly when forced to do so.

Example

Add a "speed limit" to a physical object. By checking whenever the distance of an object's velocity exceeds a set limit, we can normalize and scale to it:
