Answer:

4.245s

Explanation:

Given that,

Hypothetical value of speed of light in a vacuum is 18 m/s

Speed of the car, 14 m/s

Time given is 6.76 s, and we're asked to find the observed time, T

The relationship between the two times can be given as

T = t / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

The missing variable were looking for is t, and we can find it if we rearrange the formula and make t the subject

t = T / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

And now, we substitute the values and insert into the equation

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (14²/18²)]

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (196/324)]

t = 6.76 * √(1 - 0.605)

t = 6.76 * √0.395

t = 6.76 * 0.628

t = 4.245 s

Therefore, the time the driver measures for the trip is 4.245s
