If the speed limit was 60 miles per hour, can it be proved that the driver had been speeding? (Hint: 60 miles per hour is equal to 88 feet per second.) We can guarantee that at some time from when the driver first pressed on the brake to when the car came to a complete stop the car was traveling mph. Therefore we (can/can not) conclude that the driver was speeding from the information given.arrow_forwardA rocket accelerates from rest at a rate of 52 m/s2.
