So, I’m sitting here with my Econ group and we're arguing about a scene in the movie "Gumball Rally."

The scene is, a Ferrari is trying to escape from the police by entering a car trailer on a freeway.

The trailer is moving 65 mph on the freeway. To enter the trailer, the Ferrari must climb to *75mph* to catch up to and enter the trailer.

The question is, when you enter the trailer at 75mph, are you still moving at 75mph? Do you have to go from 75mph to 0mph within the length of the trailer to avoid flying off the other end of the trailer?

Two conditions: The engine is engaged. The engine is disengaged.

Discuss.
