<u>Answer</u>

Yes, the car reaches the door before the gate closes.

<u>Explanation</u>

The time taken by the car to reach at the door.

Time = distance / time

        = 22/13

          = 1.6923 seconds

Time taken by the door to close up to the height of the car.

Distance the door has to move to prevent the car from escaping = 9.1.4 = 7.6 m

From newton's 2nd law of motion;

s = ut + 1/2 gt²

7.6 = 0.6t + 1/2 × 10t²

7.6 = 0.6t + 5t²

50t² + 6t - 76 = 0

Solving this quadrilatic equation,

t = 28.537 seconds

Answer: Yes, the car reaches the door before the gate closes.
