A car is moving with at a constant speed...

A car is moving with at a constant speed of 60 km `h^(-1)` on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at a distance of 100 m and is approaching with a speed of 5 km `h^(-1)`. In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glance alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every 2 s till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is`//`are correct?

A

The speed of the car in the rear is 65 km `h^(-1)`.

B

In the side mirror, the car in the rear would appear to approach with a speed of 5 km `h^(-1)` to the driver of the leading car.

C

In the rear view mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to decrease as the distance between the cars decreases.

D

In the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

As distance between two cars goes on decreasing, speed of image of chasing car as observed in the rear or side mirror of car going ahead, is found to be increasing
