An image of a car with height of 14 cm occurred in the mirror which is located at a T-
intersection. If the car height is 140 cm and the radius of the curvature of the mirror is 60 cm,
how far is the car from the mirror?
helpp me!!!!!!

Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance of car form the mirror is 330 cm.

Explanation:

height of object, h = 140 cm

height of image, h' = 14 cm

radius of curvature, R = 60 cm

focal length, f = R/2 = + 30 cm

Let the distance of image is v and the distance of object is u.

[tex]\frac{h'}{h}\frac{v}{u}\\\\\frac{14}{140} =\frac{v}{u}\\\\v =\frac{u}{10}[/tex]

Use the formula of focal length

[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\\frac{1}{30}=\frac{10}{u}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\\frac{1}{30}=\frac{11}{u}\\\\u = 330 cm[/tex]
