P133a Problem Set 4

Due at the beginning of class on 29 April 1998.

Chapter 36: 3, 7, 9, 25, 26, 40, 58, 75

For 58, a ray diagram may help you keep track of signs.

Bonus: While sitting in your parked car, you see a jogger in your side mirror which is convex with a radius of curvature of 2m. The jogger is 5m from the mirror and is approaching at 3.5m/s (i.e., the jogger is running at a speed of 3.5 m/s). How fast does the jogger appear to be running when viewed in the mirror?
