Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

The cars stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v + m₂v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v

Plug in values and solve (take Jay Z's direction to be positive):

(1100) (-20) + (1475) u₂ = (1100 + 1475) (7)

u₂ = 27.1 m/s

Yes, Jay Z was speeding.
