(III) An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-
long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel
to the road. If the train's speed is 75 km/h, how long does
it take the car to pass it, and how far will the car have
traveled in this time? See Fig. 2–36. What are the results
if the car and train are traveling in opposite directions?
