A car has two devices attached to its tire which are
triggered
when objects pass in front of them. The devices are
vertically
aligned and are placed 1.30 m apart, with the bottom one
being
0.60 m above the ground. You climb the car and decide to
experiment to find out how high ho above the ground you are.
You
release your wallet from your level so that it will pass in
front of the
motion detection devices. Once you've climbed down, you read
that the lower device was triggered 0.182 s after the first
one.
Neglecting air friction and assuming that the wallet did not hit
anyThing on its way down, how high h0 had you climbed the car?
