To solve the problem step by step, we will use the mirror formula and magnification formula for a convex mirror. ### Given Data: - Radius of curvature (R) = 2.0 m - Distance of the truck from the mirror (u) = -3.5 m (negative because the object is in front of the mirror) ### Step 1: Calculate the focal length (f) The focal length (f) of a mirror is given by the formula: ...
