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`
