Answer:

yes driver exceed the car speed

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

speed of car = 38 m/s

speed limit = 75.0 mi/h

to find out

Is the driver exceeding the speed limit

solution

we know car speed is 38 m/s and limit is 75 mi/hr

so for compare the speed limit we convert limit and make them same

as we know

1 m/s = 2.236 mi/hr

so

car speed 38 m/s = 38 × 2.236 = 85.003 mi/hr

as this car speed is exceed the speed limit that is 75 mi/hr

yes driver exceed the car speed
