To find the velocity of the image when both the object and the mirror are moving towards each other, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the velocities - Let the velocity of the object (v_o) be +2 m/s (moving towards the mirror). - Let the velocity of the mirror (v_m) be -3 m/s (since it is moving towards the object, we take it as negative). ### Step 2: Calculate the relative velocity of the object with respect to the mirror The relative velocity of the object with respect to the mirror (v_o/m) can be calculated using the formula: ...
