Astate patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway on-ramp. she radioed ahead to another officer 28mi along the highway. when the car reached the location of the second officer 27min later, it was clocked going 60 mi/hr. the driver of the car was given a ticket for exceeding the 60 mi/hr speed limit. why can the officer conclude that the driver exceeded the speed limit?

driving car is more speed than the speed limit because avg speed is that car is 62.22 mi/hr

Explanation:

Given data

distance = 28 mi

time = 27 min

car speed limit = 60 mi/hr

to find out

conclude that the driver exceeded the speed limit

solution

we calculate here avg speed from mean value theorem i.e

avg speed = (total distance) / (total time)

avg speed = (28 - 0) / ((27/60) - 0 )

avg speed = 62.22 mi/hr

so we can say that that driving car is more speed than the speed limit because avg speed is that car is 62.22 mi/hr
