Question
A man moves perpendicularly towards a mirror at a velocity of ‘v’ m/s. then, the velocity of the image with respect to the mirror, when it is stationary, is
Solution
As nothing is given about of mirror, we will assume mirror to be stationary.
The displacement of the image with respect to the mirror, when it is stationary in a given time, is the same as the displacement of the object in the same time. This implies that the velocity of both the image and the object with respect to the mirror is the same. Hence, the velocity of the image is ‘v’ m/s.
