A man runs towards a mirror at a speed 15 m/s. The speed of the image relative to the man is

The reflecting surface of a plane mirror is vertical. A particle is projected in a vertical plane which is also perpendicular to the mirror. The initial speed of the particle is 10m//s and the angle of projection is 60^@ from the normal of the mirror. The point of projection is at a distance 5m from the mirror. The particle moves towards the mirror. Just before the particle touches the mirror, the velocity of approach of the particle and the image is:

A thief is running away in a car with velocity of 20 m//s . A police jeep is following him, which is sighted by thief in his rear view mirror, which is a convex mirror of focal length 10 m. He observes that the image of jeep is moving towards him with a velocity of 1 cm//s . if the magnification of mirror for the jeep at that time is 1/10 . Find (a) the actual speed of jeep, (b) rate at which magnification is changing. Assume the police's jeep is on the axis of the mirror.
