her left arm out to the side of her body with the palm of her hand facing the closer mirror.
(a) What is the apparent position of the closest image of her left hand, measured perpendicularly from the surface of the mirror in front of her?
m behind the nearest mirror
(b) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand?
O palm
O back
(c) What is the position of the next closest image?
m behind the nearest mirror
(d) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand?
O palm
O back
(e) What is the position of the third closest image?
m behind the nearest mirror
(f) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand?

(g) Which of the images are real and which are virtual? (Select all that apply.)
O the closest image is real
O the second closest image is real
the third closest image is real
the closest image is virtual
O the second closest image is virtual

- You are in your car driving on a highway at 25 m/s when you look in the passenger-side mirror(a convex mirror with radius of curvature 150 cm) and notice a truck approaching. If the image ofthe truck is approaching the vertex of the mirror at a speed of 1.9 m/s when the truck is 2.0 m from themirror, what is the speed of the truck relative to the highway?arrow_forwardThe spherical side mirror on a car is convex and has a radius of curvature of 23 cm. Another car is following, 2.2 m behind the mirror. If the height of the car is 1.15 m, how tall is its image?arrow_forwardYou unconsciously estimate the distance to an object from the angle it subtends in your field of view. This angle 0 in radians is related to the linear height of the object h and to the distance d by 0= h/d. Assume that you are driving a car and that another car, 1.50 m high, is 22.0 m behind you.
