If an object moves towards a plane mirror with a speed v at an angle `theta` to the perpendicular to the plane of the mirror, find the relative velocity between the object and the image.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Velocity of the object relative to the image is given as
`vec(V)_(o)=vec(V)_(o) - vec(V)_(1)`
`vec(V)_(Ol) = (Vcos theta hat(i) - vsintheta hat(j)) + (vcostheta hat(i) + vsintheta hat(j))`
`implies V_(Ol)=2vcos theta`
