A pregnant woman experiences labor pains, so the husband decided that she will be brought to the nearest hospital, 70 kilometers away. Accordingly, her wife delivered the baby after an hour. Suppose the car that was used to bring the pregnant woman has a speed of 50 km/h. Assume that the speed of light is 60 km/h, will the pregnant woman reach the hospital? Prove your answer with numerical solution.
