Andrew Bird is playing up in Santa Cruz this Thursday and you really want to go to his concert. Unfortunately, physics lab doesn’t get out until 6:00 pm and he is scheduled to start promptly at 7:00 pm. Your only form of transportation is an old European scooter that you estimate, if you push it, could manage an average speed of 50 km/h. According to Google, Santa Cruz is 36.5 miles away. Will you make it in time? How many minutes are you early/late? (1 km = 0.621 miles; 1 mile = 1.609 km)
