Answer:

Yes, the driver exceeding the speed limit

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the car, v = 39.2 m/s

The speed limit on an interstate highway, v' = 65 mi/hr

Firstly it is required to convert miles per hour to meter per second as :

1 miles per hour = 0.44704 meter per second

65 miles per hour = 29.0576 meter per second

Since, the speed of the car is more than the maximum speed limit, so it is clear that the driver exceeding the speed limit. Hence, this is the required solution.
