Chapter 9, Problem 10CQ
(i) An object is placed at a position p > f from a concave mirror as shown in Figure CQ9.10a, where f is the focal length of the mirror. In such a situation, an image is formed at a distance q from the mirror, as we discuss in Chapter 26. The distances are related by the mirror equation:
In a finite time interval, the object is moved to the right to a position at the focal point F of the mirror. Show that the image of the object moves at a speed greater than the
Figure CQ9.10

my question is in the image.
Every time I do this I get 1.756 m/s which is wrong. Where am I going wrong?
For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 54.5 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 115 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor.
(a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west. °(b) Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by 0.003°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light. m
3. A long coaxial carries a uniform volume charge density p on the inner cylinder
with radius a and a uniform surface charge density on the outer cylindrical shell.
This surface charge is negative and is of just the right magnitude that the cable
as a whole is electrically neutral. Find the electric field in each of the three
regions:
(a) inside the inner cylinder s < a
(b) between the cylinder a < s < b

- A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m). (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P3.46. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled.
