The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of the image formed by a moving plane mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the velocities Given: - Velocity of the mirror, \( \vec{V_m} = -2 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} \) - Velocity of the object, \( \vec{V_o} = -3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the velocity of the object with respect to the mirror The velocity of the object with respect to the mirror is given by: \[ \vec{V_{o/m}} = \vec{V_o} - \vec{V_m} \] Substituting the values: \[ \vec{V_{o/m}} = (-3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}) - (-2 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) \] Calculating this: \[ \vec{V_{o/m}} = (-3 + 2) \hat{i} + (4 + 2) \hat{j} + (-4 - 4) \hat{k} \] \[ \vec{V_{o/m}} = -1 \hat{i} + 6 \hat{j} - 8 \hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Determine the velocity of the image with respect to the mirror The velocity of the image with respect to the mirror is obtained by reversing the component of velocity along the normal (which is in the \( \hat{j} \) direction) and keeping the other components the same: \[ \vec{V_{i/m}} = -\vec{V_{o/m}} = -(-1 \hat{i} + 6 \hat{j} - 8 \hat{k}) = 1 \hat{i} - 6 \hat{j} + 8 \hat{k} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the velocity of the image The velocity of the image is given by: \[ \vec{V_i} = \vec{V_{i/m}} + \vec{V_m} \] Substituting the values: \[ \vec{V_i} = (1 \hat{i} - 6 \hat{j} + 8 \hat{k}) + (-2 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) \] Calculating this: \[ \vec{V_i} = (1 - 2) \hat{i} + (-6 - 2) \hat{j} + (8 + 4) \hat{k} \] \[ \vec{V_i} = -1 \hat{i} - 8 \hat{j} + 12 \hat{k} \] ### Final Answer The velocity of the image is: \[ \vec{V_i} = -1 \hat{i} - 8 \hat{j} + 12 \hat{k} \]
