Answer:
Yes, the car was speeding the speed limit.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation to find the car's speed, s (in mph), is
[tex]s=\sqrt{30fd}[/tex]
where, d is the length of the skid and f is the friction factor.
Police measured a skid mark of 90 feet, so d=90
As the road is dry and of concrete, therefore the friction factor, f=0.8.
So, the speed of the car
[tex]s=\sqrt{30\times0.8\times90} = 46.48[/tex] mph
The speed of the car is 46.48 mph which is more than the speed limit of 35 mph.
Hence, the car was speeding the speed limit.
