To solve the problem, we need to find the speed of the image of a jogger moving towards a parked car as observed in a convex rear-view mirror. The jogger runs at a speed of \(5 \, \text{m/s}\), and we will calculate the speed of the image for different distances of the jogger from the mirror. ### Given: - Radius of curvature of the mirror, \(R = 2 \, \text{m}\) - Speed of the jogger (object), \(v_o = 5 \, \text{m/s}\) - Focal length of the mirror, \(f = \frac{R}{2} = 1 \, \text{m}\) ### Mirror Formula: ...
