Question
You are in your car driving on a highway at 25 m/s when you glance in the passenger-side mirror (a convex mirror with radius of curvature 150 cm) and notice a truck approaching. If the image of the truck is approaching the vertex of the mirror at a speed of 1.9 m/s when the truck is 2.0 m from the mirror, what is the speed of the truck relative to the highway?
