(a) 39 m
(b) 29 m
(c) 19 m and
(d) 9 m. away ?

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the concepts of ray optics, specifically the properties of a convex mirror. The key points to remember are the mirror formula, magnification, and how to relate the speed of the object to the speed of the image. ### Given: - Radius of curvature of the mirror, \( R = 2 \, \text{m} \) - Speed of the jogger (object), \( v_o = 5 \, \text{m/s} \) ### Step 1: Determine the focal length of the mirror For a convex mirror, the focal length \( f \) is given by: ...
